Before Britain exited the European Union (Brexit) EU students could access British higher education at lower fees. After Brexit, we had what Alex Usher calls "one of the greatest financial experiments ever conducted in global higher education." Fees for most EU students were substantially higher. The result? It's in the headline. Higher fees mean fewer enrolments, especially for students from less wealthy nations or families. There's an impact on the student, obviously, but perhaps not surprisingly Paul Wakeling focuses on the impact on the classroom experience for domestic students and the impact on British soft power.
