\u00a39,000 a year for what? Languages and area studies under the new fees regime in England, 20 May, London<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most universities have declared that they will be charging the full \u00a39,000 p.a. fee. Quite rightly students are asking what they will get for their \u00a39,000\u2014the argument that this fee is merely compensating for cuts in university funding is not going to go down too well. Students often say they would expect more contact time with staff (they say this now), but what sort of contact time? And what about the year abroad\u2014how do we sell a four year course which may or may not incur an extra year of fees? These are questions which all university staff need to think very hard about.<\/p>\n

This discussion-based workshop will focus on the possible implications for the new fees for students and potential students of languages and area studies.<\/p>\n
