Brexit and UK university fees

At AGF Tutoring we are not all reassured by the intermittent missives coming from the UK Ministry of Education. Our general feeling is that UK tertiary education will be market-driven and that fees could more than double in very little time. There are arguments for such a move as unpalatable as it may be. The fact is that UK tertiary education is already expensive in comparison with that of European counterparts. A recent report argues that Brexit could increase UK university costs by almost US$40,000.

Currently, EU students pay the same tuition fees as British students (up to £9,250 (US$12,190) per year). If EU students are treated the same as other international students after Brexit, they could pay up to £38,000 (US$53,700) per year. Brexit could also have an impact on Brits seeking a higher education in Europe, as average fees for non-EU students are considerably higher in many countries across Europe.
