Scot/Brit semantics aside, this is just another example of Hammy thinking everyone must bend to his will.

What do you think about the discrepency in university fees between Scotland and England?

What about them? It's not a simple matter of the Scots just voting themselves free stuff. If they give each student £1,725 a year for university, then that's £1,725 less they've got to spend on other things.


To round off, this goes back to what I said earlier. As part of the union we are partners, but the Scottish way of thinking is very much different to the likes of the other countries in some ways.

Its quite collective and socially based. Thats why we continue to give free tutition fees, personal health cares to the elderly - to name a few, because it is the way we fundamentally see ourselves.


They're admiral values , ones i think most English people would share, but in England university now costs £3000 a year and many students can't afford to go. :confused:


Our Ivy League universities cost you $35k and up a year! I couldn't afford to study at my own employer! :yikes:

In Scotland, the university system works differently. For starters, the course is longer. In Scotland you do for years for a basic degree, whereas in England you do three years. When you factor in books etc., the fees for tuition are more or less the same. When you factor in accommodation costs etc., it's more expensive to go to a Scottish university. (As a footnote, I would argue that you get a better degree from a decent Scottish university, given you study three subjects for two years before deciding to do single or joint honours.) Again, this another myth abounding in the United Kingdom which has to be stamped out.

This must be how workers at the Scuderia feel - making those luxury cars but never be able to afford one themselves :banghead::yes:

As much of it is myth. Scotland shaped the Education system we have today.
It was but to certain degrees still is, a highly respected learning body.

No, they don't. Fees for all universities cost exactly the same, save for the difference in the cost per year in Scotland. The only thing that will affect how my studying at university costs is where the university is. For instance, London is more expensive to live in than Belfast. If you study in London, the government will give you extra funding to counterbalance this.

As far as I'm concerned, particularly if are studying the Arts Faculty, the top Scottish universities (Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Aberdeen) will give you a better degree than comparable ones in the rest of the United Kingdom. After getting your basic degree (BSc. or MA), it's up to you wherever you go, for it will be mainly research work (M.Phi, Ph.D.).

Well i dont quite see how an extra year's accomodation and books can account for a minimum of £9000?? But I dont want to get into an arguement about it. Im sure politics are involved somewhere and I dont know enough about them :-?

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

:P See I never really chose other Uni's to be honest, I went to Glasgow because I like the city.

Infact - my friend filled in a Edinburgh Uni survey they sent asking why he didn't go to Edinburgh.

His answer: Glasgow Rangers :hehe:

Don't worry I kind of gave up on Politics - especially when the Rectorial elections took place at my Uni
What was the choice... Someone who liked a drink v someone who wanted to talk about Iraq rather than the Uni.
Fun...

But if English students choose to got to those universities they are still charged fees.
