university fee band.

[ramroum]

Hello,

I am going to attend a pharmacy course for overseas pharmacists(it is like a conversion course), I asked the university about its fee band, they told me it is a non-standard fee, my question is what does it mean, and because it is a non-standard are home students(home students are uk and eu students or whoever lived in the uk for 3 years or more not as student) still entitled for a discount comparing to international students who should pay the full fee, ( I graduated from overseas but I am british).
When I asked this university about home students reduction they said they do not offer this discount, i was so upset because it is not fair, i think our government gives this money to universities so we (home students ) pay less than international students!!! this course is very very expensive.

many thanks.

Boy this doesn't seem fair does it! Why not write to the Pharmaceutical Journal - Linnear will help you do that because he writes letters all the time to it! You could also try e-mailing/writing to the university, and keep all correspondence of course in case you later need it

I'm sorry but I have no experience of this type of thing. There are a few people on the forum who do courses, so they might have some ideas for you. Just be patient and give then the chance to reply.

Good luck !

Dear Admin,

Thank you very much for your reply. I think it is a good idea.
I was thinking about talking to my local MP.

Always ready to wade into a battle!

If you would like help with letters etc. PM me with the details and I'll send you a rough draft of what I'd put.

All the best
