Refund all UK and International Students tuition fees for missing content.
We want the Bank of England to refund ALL the fees that students were substantially charged due to missing on taught material.
In light of Universities across the country moving towards online education we ask to re-calculate the tuition fees as online education should be priced differently.
Over the course of educational year 2019-20 many students missed out on taught material due to strikes and COVID-19.
To support this petition I will provide fee figures from University of Exeter
- An undergraduate(UG) pays around £370 per week(pw) of education.
- An international(I) UG pays £728-1430 pw depending on course.
- Post-Grad Taught student pays £398/£838(I)
- Post-Grad Research student pays £288/£1580(I)
All home students are eligible for £740-£1728 and (I) are eligible for £1456-9480
