| Comment | It's all the Asian students that come over and throw money at the situation. Much higher fee costs, plus there are loads of Chinese govt. studentships which are a *piece of piss* for supervisors to get, so that's the uni then getting a good 20k per student per year. It's noone's fault: it just is what it is.
I supervise a masters course and the uni are always breathing down your neck to accept lower entry requirements (i.e. more students) and if anything only withdraw teaching support. The uni does teacher training courses and all the folk on it are like 'how can the uni expect me to be this polymath scientist teacher when I've got 300 students to deal with alone?'
University is a business which happens to do a bit of research. |
