Require Universities to partially refund tuition fees for 19/20 due to Covid-19

What the petition asks
The Government should require universities to refund the final semester tuition fees of 19/20 university students. There has been a lack of hands on experience, access to facilities, teaching and learning support during COVID-19, all of which students have paid for.
I am a student studying a 13 month masters degree, the support I’ve had from my university since the lockdown started has been next to none. My course is very hands on (MSc Sports Therapy) and I have not had the opportunity to learn things in person during this time. Coming from an undergraduate degree not relating to this topic I have found it extremely difficult to learn to the required standard during this time. So I have paid for a service that I have not received.
