Which statement about university education in Scotland is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Scottish-domiciled undergraduates do not pay tuition fees at Scottish universities
- Step 1: Education is a devolved matter.
- Step 2: Scottish governments abolished upfront tuition fees for eligible Scottish students.
Answer
Scottish-domiciled undergraduates do not pay tuition fees at Scottish universities.
Why not the others: All undergraduates in Scotland pay the same tuition fees as in England: fees differ. No student in Scotland receives any funding: students can apply for funding. Tuition fees were introduced by the Scottish Parliament in 1999 and have never been abolished: tuition fees for such students were abolished.
