Reduction of university fees

The Issue

1. Denied the education which has been promised this included facilities, 1 to 1 tutorial, crits with peers, work placements opportunities as well as exhibition and public events.

2. The Financial strane has affected mental health and the prospect of paying back these fees seems unachievable. Lack of work means lack of income to support the course.

3. Overseas students are working remotely from home due to being in their hometowns during this time and so therefore are not accessing the university facilities at all. Even though this access is only allowed 2 to 3 days a week.

This is not the university experience we wanted, otherwise we would have chose an online course which is a fraction of the university fees. 

We understand that covid has affected many aspects of life but we are asking for a deduction of fees. As students we want to bounce ideas off one another, collaborate as well as experiment with materials with professional  technician help. None of this is possible with the university offering remote learning. 

Due to us students being financially crushed in this pandemic, we are concerned about the marking with regards to our university courses. This is because we are not able to spend money on materials like software.

Please could you consider the reduction of university fees for us and understand our struggles.
