[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Erasmus program. It's an EU program where you can study at other schools in the EU and pay only a fixed fee equivalent to your local tuition at your home country. In many European countries, university education is free or very heavily subsidized. [/quote] This is not correct, is not the Erasmus program. There is an EU law that states that students from outside the country cannot be charged more in tuition than students from within the country. For this reason Scottish universities cannot charge students from the rest of the EU more than students from Scotland. The loophole is that England, Wales and Northern Ireland are all part of the United Kingdom along with Scotland. The EU law does not therefore apply to them, since they are counted as being from the same country, so the Scottish Universities can (and do) charge them much more than they could charge the Scots or the other Europeans.[/quote]
