Starting practice with ￡70000 debt

摘要

How much are tuition fees? Students who started at university in this academic year are being charged ￡9250 a year for tuition, regardless of their course. The BMA says that the current costs incurred by medical students can see them graduating with ￡70 000 of debt. Have fees been rising? Yes, following a change to university funding rules in 2012. Fees for institutions that received awards in the government's teaching excellence framework were also due to rise in line with inflation from 2018-19. But the prime minister, Theresa May, announced a review at last year's Conservative party conference, and further details were revealed in January. The review, which is expected to conclude in 2019, includes the potential for fees to vary across courses. However, this may not lead to a reduction in fees for medical courses because these are expensive to run, and doctors tend to earn more than graduates of most other courses.
