 University tuition fees across Europe - movilogo

Gives some interesting facts about university tuition fees across EU.

I am surprised to note that,
1. UK tuition fee is highest
2. Some countries offer free tuition fees even to non-EU students!

That's to stop RofUK students who pay fees at home getting free education in Scotland. EU position is probably reciprocal.

But of course loss of such facilities is a price worth paying to get UK only passport queues :-P

Pretty much - it is because you can't charge residents of another EU country for something you provide for free to your own.

Nothing stopping you charging groups from within your own nation though (hence rUK is charged to stop them swamping the Scottish Unis). If Scotland had become independent, and if they had remained in the EU, then English students would be entitled to free tuition in Scotland.

A UK citizen going to Uni in another distinct EU country will be treated as if they come from that nation.

I thought it was an odd policy, I can only imagine the outrage if the reverse happened.

I wonder what the total cost of the course is in each country, I think that would be an interesting comparison. I would think most of the countries have a large amount of taxpayer contribution.

What Brexit has anything to do with tuition fees, especially for Scotland?
