He has not been sold a degree, he needs to actually graduate to get a degree.

He said all the lecture notes are rehashed wiki content.

Or could it be that the Wiki entries are based on those self-same lecture notes? In any case, that's not a valid complaint as long as the actual content of the notes is fully comprehensive and relevant...

Personally, I think you should stop nursemaiding him and let him make his own educational decisions. It's hardly for you describe the teaching staff as "incompetent and unemployable" based on an isolated one-time visit when they were apparently on strike!

What is certain is that you won't be obtaining a refund on his behalf (if he does decide to leave) unless you can present far more compelling actual evidence that his degree course is somehow inadequate than you have here.

Get real OP and help your Son by letting him grow up and be a man in the real world.

At college you are taught a craft.

At university, you are there to learn.

Then why is he at uni if he can sell art pieces that the figures quoted, should focus on his main strengths and get making art to sell.

The OP has 7 posts so far and 5 started threads, it's looking more and more likely that all of the sons are imaginary.

Hi,
My son was sold a worthless degree from Nottingham university.
The lecturers all on strike and minimal effort involved on their part.
My son said he hasn’t learned anything useful. Most of the time is spent reading Wikipedia pages.
Yet he’s paying 9.2k year tuition.

I visited the university myself and now understand where he’s coming from.
It’s full of unemployable and incompetent staff and students and atmosphere felt like loony house.

No idea how universities have gotten like this but I want to take my son out of it.

Any ideas of complaining or asking the university for a refund?

“Take him out of it”?

He’s an adult, so should be sorting this out himself.

Why did he choose Nottingham, rather than a better university in the first place? Why not Oxbridge, Imperial, Newcastle, St Andrews, or one of the myriad institutions that still offer good degrees?
