UEA students ‘outraged’ over £20 graduation tickets
Students at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have expressed their outrage over the cost of graduation tickets, which have been set at £20 per person.
Many students feel that this price is too high, especially considering the already hefty expenses of attending university. Some have taken to social media to voice their frustrations, with one student tweeting, “It’s ridiculous that we have to pay so much just to attend our own graduation ceremony.”
The university has defended the cost of the tickets, citing the expenses involved in putting on the graduation ceremonies. They have also pointed out that the £20 fee includes the cost of hiring gown and cap, as well as a commemorative certificate.
Despite this explanation, many students remain dissatisfied and are calling for the university to reconsider the pricing of graduation tickets.
Overall, the issue has sparked a debate among UEA students about the affordability of higher education and the additional costs that come with it.
