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

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.

More details

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.
