Tuition fees for students from the European Union will increase dramatically following Brexit Photo: Antenna
Universities and art schools across the UK are bracing themselves for a difficult autumn when tuition fees for students from the European Union (EU) will increase dramatically following Britain’s departure from the bloc in January 2020. From September 2021, EU students will be charged fees at the international student rate for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses (previously EU students were charged the same as UK home students).
In addition, students from the EU will also no longer be able to apply for UK student loans. “The entire higher education sector is concerned about the impact higher fees and the removal of access to student finance will have on EU applicants to undergraduate courses,” says a spokeswoman for Goldsmiths, University of London, the alma mater of Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas.

My friend and colleague Hardip Singh Dhanjal, who has died aged 60 of cardiac arrest, was a pioneering designer who shaped the imagery surrounding bhangra’s emergence as a popular dance music for young Asians in Britain in the 1980s. He designed innovative album sleeves for labels including Mighty M and MR Records, and bands such as DCS, as well as flyers for the daytime raves that that flourished in Southall, west London, and Handsworth, Birmingham.
Richard Charkin: Brexit Ushers British Publishing Into New Territory

Editor’s note: This week, contacts at the UK’s Publishers Association tell us that Brexit’s impact on publishing still are unclear, but many in the business have worried aloud for years that the tradition of British exclusivity in Europe could be threatened. When The Bookseller’s Mark Chandler and Katherine Cowdrey wrote about the issue (February 9), we asked Richard Charkin in London to give us his take on the situation. Porter Anderson
