UK to lose millions in fees from EU incomers

Article Abstract:

Universities in the United Kingdom stand to lose millions of pounds in revenues because they will no longer be able to charge students from the 10 countries that are due to join the European Union (EU) on 01 May 2004 full-cost tuition fees. Institutions currently earn about UKPd27 mil from 3,400 undergraduates from the 10 countries, according to Higher Education Statistics Agency figures. These students are charged between UKPd7,000 to UKPd8,000/yr as non-EU students, but after they join the EU this will fall to a maximum of UKPd1,125/yr.

Low fees may win extra Hefce cash

Article Abstract:

Universities in England that charge low tuition fees could be in line for additional cash in an attempt to avert a fall in quality under plans to be considered by the Higher Education Funding Council for England later in 2003. The council has stated that it will consult about giving consideration to the potential consequences of the government's decision to give institutions the ability to charge variable fees from 2006-2007.
