But are all these "stupid courses" really university courses? That would make no sense, would it?
In the Netherlands, we've got courses like that as well, but they aren't universitary, and are subject to other much cheaper regulations AFAIK.

Of course I can't speak for the Brits, but here in the Netherlands I've never heard of stupid courses like that. I'm studying electrical engineering, and while certainly not every course we follow is related to engineering, all of them are related to engineering jobs (like writing reports, presentation, even an English course)
