A university in England has been threatened with legal action for telling a computer science student from India he faces deportation after he failed to attend lectures due to having to self-isolate and paying his fees eight days late.
Aryan Patel, 19, a second-year undergraduate at the University of Bedfordshire, said the news had left him “devastated and suicidal” and that his father, a farmer who had scraped together his life savings and borrowed money from relatives to get his son a British university degree, had been unable to sleep since hearing the news.
He said his father had been sick with Covid and that had delayed him getting to his nearest bank to transfer money for the university fees.
Hundreds of UK student visa holders enrolled at Goldsmiths, SOAS and the Royal College of Art risk deportation after refusing to pay their tuition fees because of poor online teaching. According to international students, the coronavirus pandemic has had a ‘massive impact on the quality of teaching and the student experience.
Overseas student tuition fees can be significant, easily costing about £10,000 a year or more. It is therefore not surprising that students are unhappy with the quality of teaching due to COVID-19. Home Students pay lower rates and can obtain cheap loans from the Government to pay tuition fees, etc. With the end of the Brexit transition period EU students not already on a degree level course, will in many cases have to now pay full overseas student rates.
