observer Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Three students at a Scottish University: one Scots, one English and one Pole. Which one will pay student fees and which will get it free and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 English will pay... cos we fund every bugger else, simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 EU students must be charged the same as "home" students in each country - meaning they go for free in Scotland but must pay up to £9,000 in England next year. But under a quirk of European law and the UK's system of devolved Government, Scottish universities can charge students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland a higher fee because they are part of the same nation state. Not the Eu a fault, Its our system of devolved government Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Not the Eu a fault, never is as far as you are concerned though is it? Not long now though until Greece gets another handout (with a bit from us thrown in for good measure) defaults on its loan repayments and goes bust and reverts to the Drachma so that it can start again and set its own currency values. then the house of cards will collapse and all the little EU commissars will have to go and get jobs directing traffic instead of making our English lives a misery and costing us billions for the pleasure of helping everyone else..... Come the glorious day and it gets ever closer Kije!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 So can we presume that English Unis are Pole free - except for dance courses of course?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 It would be cheaper for an English student to study for a degree in English at a Scots university than it would be for a Scot student to study Polish at an English university. Those sneaky Scots, eh? If you're from the IoM or Channel Islands, it's even tougher, nearly everyone fleeces those. There's a lot of unknowns about 2012 fees as yet, but the real bother for me in all of this is that fewer bright kids from lower socio-economic backgrounds will see a degree as a realistic option.

silverlady54 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 There seems to be some form of discrimination going on here, against the English. How about one of those clever lawyers taking up he case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
