International fees unfair, says student

A student says it's unfair Island residents wishing to study for a second degree have to pay full international fees.

Rachel Jarvis, who is currently studying at the University of Liverpool, has been unable to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinary surgeon due to the fee structure, which would see her be charged £30,000 per year.

She says she's become more aware of more people who have been affected by this issue.

The Department of Education and Children has issued a statement in response, reiterating information available to students in its guidelines.

It says in addition to the universal tuition fee contribution covered by a student loan of £2,500, the government continues to meet the balance of the cost of first degree courses - up to a maximum of £6,500 a year in most cases.

There is also a means-tested maintenance grant.

The cap on tuition fees is put aside for clinical years in medicine , dentistry and veterinary science as fees for these courses tend to be much higher.

Isle of Man students can benefit from financial awards currently up to a maximum of £25,000 for the clinical elements of these courses.

A student is not eligible for support if they have previousy commenced a course at the same or a higher level.
