Not in a university in England on the UK tax payer's dime.
- desas 2y agoIt's not on the UK taxpayers dime, quite the opposite. The higher fees that international students pay are used to subsidise the costs of educating UK students.
- flanked-evergl 2y agoUK Universities receive taxpayer funding and students also drive down the wages for the poorest in the UK which then makes them more dependent on welfare benefits, and they will likely contribute less in taxes than they cost the state as the vast majority of net taxes (taxes minus benefits) are paid by the rich.
- graemep 2y ago> UK Universities receive taxpayer funding For research, and for taking UK students. NOT for taking overseas students. Universities are private institutions that get paid by the state to do specific things. A few do opt out of this.
- pjc50 2y agoOverseas students do not cost the state anything. They are not entitled to any benefits. They are limited to working 20 hours per week.
- Aachen 2y agoAccording to the article, foreign students can be charged as much as the university wants. They're paying for it, bringing boatloads of money to the UK to rent, eat, study, and sometimes later work there At least that's how it works in the Netherlands where I've looked into it, and that's with subdidies available for EU students who often don't stay here and don't contribute to taxes later.
