and then there was the exchange rate...
Just when I thought this decision was complicated enough, the £ slide against the € has added yet another dimension.
FTE just looks fantastically expensive now at €102K; that’s now £86K and getting worse by the day. Some of my savings are actually already in €, offsetting the effect a little, but now any course priced in £ is getting really cheap in € terms; Bristol’s is now only €70K compared on a like-for like basis.
I guess FTE is well and truly off the list; nobody has offered any explanation for it being so expensive, so I cannot imagine why anyone would go there on a self-funded basis.
With the must better value UK schools, again, no-one has come up with any justification for price differences.
Can anyone tell me how the more expensive schools can justify their extra price? I’ve asked them, but they have not offered any meaningful reason or justification. If you are a customer or thinking of being one, what is your reasoning for your choice?
