Hundreds of students in Nottingham have joined calls demanding compensation from their university for 'not receiving what we paid for'. University of Nottingham is one of the 18 universities which have already been issued Letters Before Action - with more expected to be sent in the coming months.
Just under 2,000 students are seeking financial compensation from University of Nottingham, claiming their studies have been disrupted by Covid-19. They are among 75,000 students nationally who have joined a first-of-its-kind consumer group action.
But if the litigation is successful, UK students who were at university during the pandemic are estimated to receive around £5,000 each in compensation – with international students potentially winning significantly larger sums, the Student Group Claim reported. For context, UK students pay £9,250 per year for undergraduate courses, while international students pay up to £40k per year, said the Student Group Claim.
