The Morrison government is offering universities more places for expected soaring numbers of undergraduates, but at a cost to students.
Youth unemployment has soared to 16.1 per cent, with young people's jobs making up 45 per cent of those lost in May. The coalition had effectively capped places over the past couple of years by freezing its funding at 2018 levels.A three-year humanities degree would more than double in cost for students, from about $20,000 now to $43,500.Fees for law degrees, typically four years, would jump from $44,620 now to $58,000.
Those doing the more expensive degrees will be able to cut their costs by taking up courses in the cheaper, more"useful" areas.
Who agrees that the humanities don't hold a monopoly on critical tnought a creative expression! Arts students just take way longer to re-pay their Hex account😜👍

Sounds like they are encouraging degrees that offer little in remuneration apart from long hours, little pay & reserving well paid jobs for those that can afford them. Lawyers sons will become lawyers etc. Same old same old.
DanTehanWannon How will this ensure that senior secondary teachers have necessary SUBJECT content knowledge? To teach a subject at Yr 12 I had to do 3yrs of each subject at uni in Arts Degree first!
2/2 - Discouraging people from doing an Arts Degree before heading into teaching will really boost quality of content knowledge needed, particularly at senior level. Makes perfect sense. Not. 🤬
1/2 So if you want do an Arts degree first, and possibly an Honours or Master, to specialise in an area, e.g. Languages, English Literature or History, so you can develop greater expertise in content before teaching it, you get penalised. Way to go.
Good !
Excellent, having seen first hand Humanities in the hands of Marxist devotees intent on indoctrination not education and a questioning mind this or something like it had to be introduced so we can pay for the progress of this nation rather than being ripped apart by Marxist bots.
free uni for australian students
how about creating a future where jobs are more optional rather than trying to funnel people into careers they don't even want
Arts degrees are often the basis for a lot of teachers 🤦
Good! I cannot name a single university graduate creating art that has any value or authenticity whatsoever. Want to pursue art? Dropout and create!
“Supply and demand” should not be the model used for education opportunities. This inherently favours the upper and middle class.
Tell me, which of these remind you of the LNP?
As someone that knows first hand as an employee how many spaces Universities DONT HAVE IN NURSING this is a BAD IDEA
Oh, the price of humanity and justice. Arts and law to become 'premium' areas of study. jobsofthefuture auspol
Job creation and education have no direct relationship. The government continues to use this trick to distract public attention. They just have no idea to create jobs. If you don't have enough jobs, you will not find any job even you have a job-related degree.
without my arts degree, i never would've paid off my credit card debt by using the skills gained at uni to create a second career. thanks DanTehanWannon for making me feel useless and not relevant.
This is a good way to get people not to go to university. Sure, you’ll get people doing courses because they’re cheaper than the ones they actually want to do, but there will be a large number of people that will just skip on university all together.
Government shows total disdain for creative expression, critical thought, and understanding of our history, society and its narratives.
So stupid. IT is overfilled. IT graduates aren't getting jobs. Plus way more IT professionals keep arriving from China.
JFC, you can't make this shit up, every day closer to a dictatorship. These people haven't got a clue. auspol auspolDickheads
No more 'hey kids, chase your dreams and do what you love.' Now it's 'we need you to become a cog to feed the economy machine.'
Because why pay health workers and teachers what they deserve when you can just force people into those jobs while simultaneously decreasing the number of young people learning about law, history, politics, critical thinking, etc.? Easiest decision the dystopian LNP ever made
What career are Arts students expecting to go into when they complete their degree? Isn't the aim of further education, to get a job?
The fuck is that? Rob Peter to pay Paul?
This not a solution , increasing university degree costs from someone who got there university degree for free should be the debate , why are the govt making education more expensive

How will this impact Social Work students?
Australian Academy of the Humanities will make a formal statement after details are released:
They're basically forcing the art students to pay the teacher/med student debt 😭 its hard enough finding jobs doing an art degree why double the fees for them?
I am in an arts degree, majoring in PSYCHOLOGY - an area that needs more people pursuing it because of how broken and overworked the mental health system is. Do they not know that arts is more than humanities? Not to say that humanities courses are somehow inferior but just...
With HECS deferment of fees, the amount of fees is not a real incentive/disincentive for professional degrees like law, but arts degrees? This will kill things like history study, which is probably what the Libs want, no awkward history to be reminded of.
Not one student coming out of high school will reconsider their course because it costs less. No one.
political_alert So if you don’t study a degree the government deems worthy enough, you must pay, some degrees double what they originally cost. That’s a raught if I’ve ever heard one.
Any political debate on this or do we now live under a dictatorship
