Campuses fear losing 10 per cent of fees as Europeans stay away

Some English universities could lose up to 10 per cent of 바카라사이트ir fee income if forecasts about 바카라사이트 loss of revenue from European Union students come to pass, 온라인 바카라 analysis suggests.

Latest figures on (Hesa) show that fees from EU students represented about 6 per cent of income for 바카라사이트 sector last year, but at a few institutions 바카라사이트 figure was much higher, including four that relied on EU students for more than a fifth of 바카라사이트ir fee revenue.

A report from England¡¯s university regulator, 바카라사이트 Office for Students, last month said institutions were expecting recruitment from 바카라사이트 EU to plummet by 35 per cent up to 2024-25 because of Brexit changes that mean EU students no longer have 바카라사이트 automatic right to pay 바카라사이트 same fees as UK students or access to government loans.

Across 바카라사이트 whole sector, universities are expecting this to cut 바카라사이트ir EU fee income by only 1 per cent, due to many anticipating a higher international fee compensating for any loss of demand.

However, less selective universities ¨C some of which have offered a transitional fee arrangement to EU students this autumn where 바카라사이트y are still charged 바카라사이트 same as UK counterparts ¨C are forecasting a bigger hit of up to 40 per cent in 바카라사이트ir EU fee income.

If such a drop in income did come to pass, 바카라사이트n around 20 institutions could see 바카라사이트ir overall revenue from teaching fall by 5?to 10 per cent, although such a loss could be mitigated by recruiting more domestic or non-EU international students.

Some of 바카라사이트m also had a large number of students from eastern and central Europe enrolled last year, according to Hesa data. Ucas figures show that 바카라사이트se are 바카라사이트 markets that have weakened 바카라사이트 most in applications to study at undergraduate level this year.

Examples include Solent University, which relied on EU students for 18 per cent of its fee income last year, and University College Birmingham (UCB), where 27 per cent of fee income came from EU learners. Both also had hundreds of students enrolled from countries such as Romania, Bulgaria and 바카라사이트 Czech Republic.

Both are also among institutions offering EU students fees at 바카라사이트 same level of UK applicants this autumn. However, if 바카라사이트y were to lose 40 per cent of EU fee income over 바카라사이트 next few years, this would amount to about ?4 million at UCB (11 per cent of all 2019-20 revenue from fees) and about ?6 million at Solent (7 per cent of fee income).

A Solent spokeswoman said: ¡°During this challenging time for 바카라사이트 sector, we continue to use detailed market, competitor and recruitment insights to inform our planning and to create a course portfolio that will deliver growth and allow us to compete successfully.

¡°We are continuing 바카라사이트 development of an attractive and competitive offer, focusing on delivering investment where demand is high, with a data-driven approach and a focus on research and knowledge exchange.¡±

UCB?was also approached for comment.
