(London.CityRegions.com, May 05, 2013 ) England, UK -- The stark contrast in the face-to-face teaching times that students receive at Universities in Britain has recently been exposed via new figures.
Some undergraduates are paying tuition of over £ 9,000 per year and receiving less than half the hours of lectures and extracurricular assistance, such as tutors and supplemental seminars, as other students studying the same subject in other educational establishments.
Critics have stated that the disparity is pointing to a many receiving what is described aptly as a 'very raw deal' and accuse particular university of failing to offer the value that should be expected from such education.
The figures that underscore the problem come from the Government website Unistats, and show that the gaps involved in undergraduate studies at York University students who are studying history. They spend a mere 8% of their course in lectures and seminars, the rest being considered 'independent' study.
That is fewer than 100 hours per year of actual interaction with the academics, and means that the individual is pay £ 100 per hour of such contact. Still, if they are reading the same subject as those as University College London, they will receive more than 300% the total face time from teachers, at a rate of £28 an hour.
There are also strong examples that come from the politics students at Leeds University and theology students that come from Sheffield. Each of which spend about one-tenth of their time in face-to-face classes. That constitutes nearly 120 hours of lectures and tutorials per year, while counterparts at Liverpool and Manchester receive over double that total for the same classes.
New universities, where intake of students and teachers takes priority over research, content tends to be higher than at older institutions, according to the study.
Professor Alan Smithers, who works as director of the Center of Education and Employment Research at Buckingham University, stated: “Some students are getting a very raw deal. The temptation of these universities is to free-up staff to concentrate on their own research, which tends to be more lucrative than teaching.”
