Fee discount to encourage rUK students.
Heriot Watt ? You don’t want to go down there.
Seems pretty reasonable to be honest, Scottish students can get higher bursaries (and also no fees), rUK students get a smaller bursary (little bit of an incentive to come to a Scottish uni compared to an rUK uni where they’ll pay fees regardless), International students pay all fees international students pay. More full paying students at a Scottish uni mean there’s more money for Scottish students to go to uni, what am I missing?
Is this particularly outrageous? I’m sure young Scots prefer having no tuition fees relative to getting a 16% rebate on their £9.5k tuition fees
16% fees rebate which attracts more students from the rest of the UK who pay higher fees. I’m all for free tuition but the reality of it means that many higher education institutions need to attract students from abroad or elsewhere in the UK to stay afloat.
