      IIRC EU students still owe the UK billions in tuition loans. Bit of cheek to ask for cheaper fees.

      I chuckled at the diplomat trying to pull the age-old „the pay is shit but think of the exposure“ line.

      UK universities are more expensive than in the EU. Why should EU students at UK unis pay less than British students? Obviously it would be nice if UK tuition fees were reduced/scrapped across the board but that isn’t going to happen.

      “A European diplomatic source told The i Paper that the UK should see the soft-power value of making its world-class universities accessible to more EU students, as they could go on to become senior political or other figures who will have a favourable view of Britain if they studied here.”

      I highly doubt that to be perfectly honest

      EU should allow 25-35 year olds, I’ll happily take my skills and work experience to a different country if reform gets into power.

      You’d be hard pressed to find EU students willing to pay £38k to attend a British University. This is silly of the UK government to even think people would be interested in that.

      They can scam rich Indian students all they want with their extortionate fees to attend Cardiff University, but no chance Europeans would take the bait.

      So the UK government is happy for higher education to be totally fucked, but only so long as it does that itself.

      I’d be immensely surprised if the UK government gave a concession on lower international student fees. The UK university system relies on international students paying extremely high fees to effectively subsidise domestic students.

      EU should focus on improving their own universities, attracting foreign students from around the world, and tapping into the human potential that their universities produce. A bit of international marketing would not hurt either.

      The UK is not in the EU. Wish them all the luck and treat them as any other outsider. The UK students should be treated the same as those from Japan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, or the US. Welcome guests.

      University in UK it’s a business and it is run as a business.
      Students have to pass exams or the university won’t get many new joiners.

      Besides a few good universities, or even just faculties, I don’t see all this great quality.

      # Title : Brexit youth visa deal faces collapse as EU demands cheaper university fees

      Article :

      The UK has been pushing for a **cap** on the number of young Europeans able to be in the UK, it is understood.

      […]

      But EU member states are reluctant to agree to any **caps** without a **concession** to allow their students to pay **lower fees** than currently offered to foreign pupils studying at UK universities.

      UK wants to have their cake and eat it too, more of this absolutely shocking news at 11.

      University Exchange programs are built on students paying their own fees back home as if they never left, and the UK expects them to pay full international student fees? AND agree to a cap on the number of people allowed in?

      I mean, with the way that country is going any kind of „cap“ will never ever be reached.

      If Labour were component, they would realise that they should just walk away from talks because every time the two sides come to a verbal agreement, the EU backtracks and asks for more concessions from the UK.

      Unfortunately, the backbenchers of the Labour Party will not let the government make any much needed spending cuts, so the only growth strategy Labour has is to have a closer relationship with the EU.

      My 2 cents this may be in the UK’s best interest as the changes to ILR and other visa rules has put a lot of Indian students off studying in the UK, therefore it’s best to allow EU students to enter at a slightly lower rate maybe a special rate of £12.5 k a year, on the condition the EU gives the uk other deals like UK citizens being able to use EU lines at ALL airports in the EU, Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications, etc. so as long as the uk can get something in return it’s a DEAL

    15. Maleficent-Amoeba351 on

      Hopefully this will lead to Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualfications (MRPQ) between the UK and EU next, as a British student studying dentistry in Cyprus, EU I want to return to the uk however after 2028 eu qualifications may require a lengthy exam, so hopefully this deal will lead to MRPQ next

      The sooner it collapses, the better. Rapprochement with the UK is a bad idea
