Universities and how they are funded - PowerPoint Presentation Example

U.K Universities and how they’re funded U.K Universities and how they’re funded UK universities offer top fees.UK university systems are based majorly on public funding.That is why European Universities provides excellent high quality with no or very less fees.Also Europe offers up to 30,000 international educational programmes for global students.Additionally university students enjoy excellent living standards, since EU cities are full of intense social life and varied cultures.In several cities, student organizations in universities involve international students with diverse social responsibilities making them feel like home at any given time.

What are the differences between the different types of universities available in the UK?Universities in UK vary depending on the country it is located, just to look at a few:Austria-In Austrian universities students from EU-EEA member countries pay no fees. But all the rest pay study fees of 336.36 Euros every semester. But if a student wants to be a member of Austrian student Union they are required to pay 16.89 Euros to obtain membership. Denmark- Denmark’s’ university education is free for EU-EEA and Switzerland students.

But the rest should pay tuition fees range from 6,000 to 16,000 Euros per annum. Additionally Scholarship programmes are accessible for both EU and Non EU students.Finland- No fees are imposed on Doctoral and bachelor’s degrees despite student nationality. The same applies to several Master’s programmes for EU-EEA, Swiss and Finnish students. Erasmus Mundus programmes attract fees for non-EU students, but eligible to Erasmus Mundus Scholarship by application. N/B: This also varies in France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Do British students have to pay their fees when they start their course?British students pay tuition fees to start their courses even though these fees are offered at very low rates. But till 1998 there was no tuitions payment.Recently UK government authorizes its universities to raise study fees but Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are included on this decision and they have pursued their own strategy on study fees. In Scotland for instance, non-UK EU and Scottish citizens doesn’t pay any tuition fee.

Are there any ways that students from less well-off families get financial help?EU offers 16 billion Euros for scholarships every year which is available for students from less well off families.Why do students from the EU pay lower fees than students from outside the EU?In general European Union students have the same rights in another EU State. Thus, European Union citizens are involuntarily entitled to education in other European Union’s member states: therefore should not be paying more tuition fees and they must always be able to access a residence permit.

This works differently for non-EU students. European High Education requires non-EU students in Europe to pay tuition fees.This was majorly done as a privilege to its citizens offer non citizens.Are students’ fees the only money that universities receive?Despite European Union financial crisis, its government has managed to present multi annual financial framework for 2014 to 2020 to its Education system that proposes to increase education and training funds by 70%.This is equivalent to 17 billion Euros to support cooperation between institutions, transnational learning mobility, implementation of education policies in the Member States and modernization of education.
