    Yes and no. As the state still pays the fees for EU students ( except for English students ) they limit the numbers.
    And there are a number of EU countries that pay the fees for UK (inc English) students. Furthermore, UK students have an advantage in that a number of university courses in the EU ( and Russia) are taught in English whereas students coming to learn in the UK must have taken an English proficiency exam before being approved.

      But I'm obviously being bitter again, it would appear.

      how very dare you, no-one from abroad would do such a dishonest thing!

        You are real numpties. The TOEFL is a stringent test and it does not rely on local dodgy educational establishments to turn a blind eye to substitutes.

        TOEFL iBT: What to Bring

        What to Bring on Test Day
        Valid, Acceptable Identification (ID) Document(s)
        Test takers are advised to bring at least 2 forms of acceptable ID each time they report to a test center. With few exceptions, ID documents must meet all of the following requirements. Each ID document must:

        be an original document; photocopied documents are not acceptable
        be valid; expired documents (bearing expiration dates that have passed) are not acceptable
        include the test taker's full name matching exactly the name used to register
        include a recent photograph that clearly matches the test taker
        include the test taker's signature
        For more information, see Identification Requirements.

        If you do not bring valid and acceptable identification, or if the name on your ID does not exactly match the name on your registration, you will not be permitted to test and your test fee will not be refunded.

        You may be required to show your ID and/or to sign a test center log at various points throughout the test administration.
        If the test administrator questions the ID you present, you may be required to provide a supplemental ID. If positive confirmation cannot be made, you may not be permitted to test or your test scores may be held or canceled.
        Prior admission to a test center based on a given ID document does not guarantee that that document will be considered acceptable. Test centers are not required to hold your seat if you leave the center to obtain acceptable identification.
        Admission to the test center does not assure that the ID you provided is valid or that your scores will be reported. All reported cases of questionable ID are subject to review and approval by the ETS Office of Testing Integrity either during or after the test administration. ETS reserves the right to hold and/or cancel scores in the event that the ID requirements set forth herein are not met.

          Indeed. The safe space seem to be CUK general.

            Don't flatter yourself. You took two years to do a one year 'degree' in statistics.

              Therein lies the greater devaluation of the academic system, the 'masters conversion course'.

              Seems you can just rock up these days to some Unis with crap school grades, chuck a bit of money down and walk out with a 'masters' after a bit of 'distance learning'.

              As an employer I'm generally dismissive of these types.

              Any discipline that offers a 'masters' before an ordinary degree is attained should be questioned as to the rigour it places on students.

                    Especially when they turn in stuff in perfect English.

                    don't upset their version of reality they cling to it in desperation.
