STUDENTS heading for the University of Huddersfield will pay £7,950 a year. University officials have confirmed the figure they propose to charge for tuition fees. They are one of only a handful so far not to opt to charge the full £9,000 a year fees that some students face.

AJM wrote: “It may be the case that Huddersfield University has no debts, unlike other universities, but how many prospective students will be aware of this?

“How many will think that there is something ‘cheap’ about it and choose a slightly higher priced one?

“It’s only £3k more for the course and in the context of the size of the debt run up is nothing. Don’t believe that facts and truth will bring the students in.”

Landless_Peasant wrote: “Education should be free. Presumably the fees will be paid for by student loans so don’t worry about it, simply run-up a huge debt and never re-pay it.

“It’s just over a decade since I graduated and I haven’t re-paid a single penny and have no intentions of ever doing so.”

Tromboneblower added: “Too many universities, too many kids getting useless degrees, too much debt at the end of it all.

“Stop leading students up the garden path with the myth that you will gain better employment with a degree.

“£30k debts before you’ve even thought of buying a house!’’
