Bio

I've worked as The Herald's education correspondent for the past five years, covering a range of stories from bogus colleges in Glasgow to the state of the nation's schools and the future of university funding. I'm interested in any stories relating to education. I previously worked at The Scotsman, covering politics and home affairs.

  • University chiefs demand end to tuition fees cap

    Institutions north of the Border can charge students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland up to £9000 a year.

    The limit was introduced to ensure a level playing field with universities in the rest of the UK, which can also charge fees of up to £9000. It was also intended to act as a brake on undue profiteering.

    Now a group representing the 12 governing bodies of universities in Scotland has made a controversial call for them to be allowed to set their own maximum fee.

  • Universities lose out as fees charged for non-Scots

    Aberdeen, Abertay in Dundee, Queen Margaret in Edinburgh and West of Scotland said they had a lower income from students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

    The figures emerged from a Freedom of Information (FoI) request to the institutions.

    The biggest loser was Aberdeen, with a shortfall of £1.2 million, while Queen Margaret was down £318,000 and Abertay down £41,000. West of Scotland said its income was "less than previous years".
