Students in England paying thousands to attend university receive less tuition than their counterparts in Scotland where higher education is free, a report revealsIt found that English students are ‘paying more for less’, getting fewer hours of seminars and lectures per week than students in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. In total, students in England have 13.4 hours a week, compared to 14 in Scotland, 14.3 in Wales and 14.6 in Northern Ireland. This is less than the 67 per cent in Wales, 68 per cent in Scotland, and 71 per cent in Northern Ireland who reported feeling satisfied. ‘English students in England do more independent study than others but this is not enough to make up the entire shortfall in other working hours once work related to their course is included.’
