Education secretary says top-up support for subjects including media must be scaled back because of ‘extremely challenging’ fiscal environment

Why are journalism and media studies “high-cost”? Don’t these people mainly need a desk and a computer? I would have guessed it’s something like chemistry with lots of hands-on courses, labs, tutors for smaller groups and lab equipment? Or engineering, who run large buildings filled with expensive machinery for the students?
Super expensive Apple, Adobe and Canon equipment? Because they don’t know better and symbols of social status are important?
