Doing the maths on an arts degree
University could be about to get a lot more expensive, depending on what you want to study. From next year, under a government proposal, it would cost 113% more to go to uni for an Arts degree, and 28% more to study law or commerce, while the cost of studying agriculture, maths, nursing, teaching and languages would fall significantly. So what's the rationale behind the change? And if it goes through, will it change enrolment trends? Today on The Signal we ask why the Government has decided that certain subjects are more worthy of funding than others, and what it might mean for you.
