Reduce International Student University Fees for the 20/21 Academic Year

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

International students are paying from £16000+ to UK universities this year despite it all being almost entirely online, with many students not even able to currently be in the UK due to travel restrictions.
We are not getting the university experience or access to facilities we are paying for, and our fees this year should reflect that. The fees should be lowered by at least half of what they are currently charging.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Fees for international students are set by individual universities, not the Government or House of Commons, but you may wish to sign some of these petitions:
