Higher fees for overseas students
Students from outside the EU will pay higher university fees as of 2019-2020.
Britons coming to study after Brexit are likely to be affected (not those who live in France).
An annual undergraduate fee will rise from €170 to €2,770 (but still seven times less than UK overseas student fees and, the government says, a third of the actual, unsubsidised, cost).
