10.11.2025 18:09 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Max Hegarty, who is studying aerospace engineering, said the proposals also affect students on other courses. He has taken modules in German, and said this enabled him to do an internship in Germany. "So much of our European engineering is based in Germany," he said. "While a lot of people are willing to learn English, not returning that effort to them is not great for that collaboration, for that international co-operation that we need. "Cutting funding for modern languages courses serves only to paralyse our growth as a country."
Such a key point about cutting back on language provision - itโs not good for science and itโs not good for growth
