Sarah’s Blog is about …

I was interested to read THIS ARTICLE yesterday in the New York Times and it got me thinking about how important ULTRAVERSITY … otherwise known as the BA in Learning, Technology and Research Degree … is in providing an affordable option for further study in this time of economic downturn. I decided to take a look at costs in the UK and found on the Funding Education website, this statement regarding tuition fees,

“Universities can now set their own tuition fee rates for full-time home students, up to a fixed amount set by the government. The maximum amount they can currently charge is £3,145 a year. Most universities tend to charge the full rate.”

It is this last sentence that makes me think that with Ultraversity, we may not be hit as hard as some. Our degree has just gone up by £50 to £1850, for this coming September … kept so low largely due to the online nature of the course. Not only that, due to the nature of the study our learners do not incur the typical £10,000 debt that many face to face undergraduate learners tend to be landed with after completing their degree - so it has to be a good choice for those considering higher education courses.
