Wtf @imperialcollege - why is there an application fee for the MSc degrees? https://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/apply/fees/application-fees/

Any comments @OkMatar ‽

As someone who used to admit students for MSc degrees - this is a hugely dissapointing development, and another symptom of the rot setting in in UK higher education...

For more discussions on this - also see @colinjcotter 's post, where I first heard about this https://twitter.com/colinjcotter/status/1312070564564135936?s=19

Curious - just thought I'd spitball a random sum

Ah - I should have cut that by 20% due to the COVID associated pay cuts...

Interestingly I suspect this number isn't far off the number of PG-Taught applicants the college currently gets
