@ConversationUK I though they had to pay that much because the difference it's not covered by the government.
undergrads yes – postgrads no, if I recall correctly.
ok so no "There is no cap on the maximum fee for non-EEA undergraduate students" http://www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/non-eu-higher-education-students-impact-uk-economy/ …
meaning they can make as much money as they like as no cap means any concept of "matching" makes no sense
yes unis get money per student from the government but they can change ANYTHING for international students
I didn't realise that, so I guess it depends on the university to charge more "overall" for international students.
yes, hence why international students are welcomed with terrible english and then not given english lessons
because some unis only care about money
that is quite sad, but I cannot say in surprised given the circumstances...
well I have lived here since 2006 and knowing/guessing this was happening just from meeting people around uni
slowly but surely from 1993 to today unis have been turned into businesses but shit ones not even good ones
