It seems to me that these days in England, every university tries to charge students as high as they can. Of course, they will present many reasons.
But England has the highest tuition fees in the European Union (plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Montenegro and Turkey), according to an analysis of current charges by the European Commission.
This is the link to the BBC article:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-30080662
England is an outlier with fees of up to £9,000 per year.
Other "relatively high fees" are charged in Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary and the Netherlands, with typical costs between about £800 to £4,000.
Surely there is something fishy and wrong with England.
If higher education is free in Germany, and costs little in other European countries, why is it so expensive in England? Are people misled by the government and the universities?
