I can also declare an interest in this topic? We are currently negotiating a
fully reciprocal exchange programme with an overseas institution. We are
concerned that we receive the equivalent fees and funding for the students on
the course i.e. we either receive a full fee from the outgoing student plus
HEFCE teaching funding, or we charge the incoming student. If the scheme is
fully reciprocal it implies that we should be charging the outgoing student
fees and not the incoming student. However, the 10 week rule means that we
can only charge GBP 520 to the outgoing student. How do we make up the
shortfall? By charging the incoming student a fee the scheme will not be
fully reciprocal. Has anyone else found a solution to this problem?

Subject: RE: Exchanges as an integral part of a three year degree programm e
Pauline,
Many thanks for your reply. Your course may still fit into the category that
I am interested in. The problem that we have concerns the charging of fees
for the year abroad. Obviously a normal 3 year degree would bring in 3 years
Home fees of approximately £1,050 per annum. However the DfEE state that
where a student spends more than 10 weeks away from an institution in any
one year they can only be charged the reduced (£520) fee. How therefore do
you charge for the year of the exchange. Do you charge the outgoing home
student (and how much?) and / or do you charge the incoming overseas student
(and how much?). At Salford we expected to be able to obtain 3 years fees at
standard home fee rates from the outgoing student but the DfEE ruling seems
to prevent that without us coming to some sort of arrangement with the
incoming students. I would be grateful for your advice / comment.
Brian

Sorry but at UCL we only have such a programme in the Arts Faculty for our
programme in Italian and Design where the Design part is studied abroad in
Italy.
