yup big money making scheme!That I don't know because I don't live there probably the pakistanis living in UK know better about it. But for universities I know because when I was deciding to do a master in UK, I used to order prospects of many universites around early 2000s and it was always mentioned in the fees section of the prospectus that a non-UK or non-EU student will pay like 15000 pounds per year whereas the a UK national or an EU national will pay only 4000 pounds.
Sadly SOME of the uni dont even keep up their standards....MANY do...but many also dont! That is why they have all these servey / rankings because that is how you attract customers/ students!
It was in early to mid 2000s they started charging...But some courses were charging slightly earlier!May be now but I remember around early 2000s it was free for non-EU students also, some of my class mates from pakistan went there to do a masters degree (english instructed) and they payed only nominal service fees during every semester which was like in few hundred euros.
