This is how much it actually costs your uni to teach your degree

With students across the country asking for refunds as their degrees turn into a less satisfying version of ChatRoulette, it may come as some surprise that your uni spends less on you if you do certain subjects.

Some degrees cost unis more than twice as much to teach as others, new stats have revealed.

Veterinary and Dentistry students are having £20k a year splashed on them, whilst History, Economics, and Sociology students are getting by with £9k a year being spent on their education.

It’s a debate which always rages, and now there are figures to back it up. We’ve been deep in government figures, and found out where they calculate how much unis spend on average teaching each degree.

Politics, Law, and Philopsophy also cost unis relatively little to teach. Meanwhile, Science students can rest safe in the knowledge that unis are investing heavily in their labs.
