To explain... Education at the all the Universities in England used to be free to all students...ie no course fees, all that being subsidised by the state. All you needed to do was have the basic higher school qualifications and perhaps take an interview to be selected for limited places. All was based on intellectual merit and not on financial resources, for the good of the country in general (and to raise Generals to shoot Indians who revolt against the Empire) That took a change under the last Government in that students would be asked to pay £3000 each year towards course fees. In certain circumstances...ie special courses which require more materials or were generally more specialized could possibly rise to maybe £6,000 per year. These courses, however, would be very few and far between and would not affect most students. In any case, NO University ANYWHERE would be allowed to charge more than £9,000 per year, for whatever reason and that would be an absolute cap and very unlikely to occur under most circumstances. NEWS FLASH.. Cambridge University today announced that they will be charging students 9 grand a year for ANY course... (Of course they are doing nothing wrong and remaining entirely within the guidelines.. ) Betcha Oxford will make a similar announcement this week! Talk about the "taking it to the lim" age! Ha...I was going to say St. Andrews as well.. But that's in Scotland, so is still free, even though King James II of Scotland and Prince William studied there. (I've got a kinda feeling that things might change soon though... ) cheers, Ron
