“For many, it’s not just a certificate – it’s about what it represents: years of hard work, sleepless nights, tight budgets and personal victims.
But students now ask: Why is there a price tag to celebrate academic success?
Should participation in a ceremony organized by the university should cost more than in the average semester?
Why don’t they also participate in paid services? TWIST fence: £6,500 to go through the stage and be handed over to what we have already earned.
Oh you don’t want to attend? Just £3,000 for a silent evil heart, saying that it later collects it.
Because at this point, a paid service is not even displayed, ”he reads.
The university has not issued any clarification of what £6,500 fees include, although such fees usually cover the costs of the place, academic robes, refreshments, photography and other logistics associated with the organization of formal convening.
The post did not sit well with many on social media, with special criticism focused on £3,000 fees for students who decide not to participate in the ceremony.
A user who claimed to be a graduate of a university repeated similar feelings and wrote: “My dear, I fainted in 2020 – pandemic dose. They gathered £3 500 for convening. I didn’t get any refund or call. I understand that it was postponed because of security measures. But in five years since then they have carried out convocations for other doses. What about our money? Who is responsible? ”
Another user added: “The Institute certainly knows how to use us. I know about previous batches that had to wait two years to get the title certificates. A really sad situation.”
The third user noted: “Outside behave as if they were harvard.”
