| Abstract: | In this paper we consider various issues relating to the fees which are charged to overseas students. The introduction of 'full-cost fees' by the Government in 1980 had a dramatic effect on the overseas student intake initially. Since that date there has been a steady, slow recovery in numbers. The home student position has also changed with an end to hopes of steady overall expansion of traditional students and the looming implications of the falling birthrate of the late 1960s and 1970s .
Against this background we consider three topics: experience so far in setting fees, the alternative approaches that are available and the theoretical and practical implications of each . |
