Reduction of Tuition Fees for European Students in the UK
November 2, 2026
The government of Andy Burnham is considering reducing tuition fees for European students at UK universities to match those of British students. This proposal aims to facilitate cooperation between London and Brussels post-Brexit. If implemented, European students would pay significantly less, which raises concerns among universities. The government plans to provide funding to cover the revenue losses that may arise. However, university authorities are reacting by demanding guaranteed state support.
