Why don't they show the fees on the first page?

Why do Universities not show the fees they intend to charge for particular courses on the first page of their ads, along with duration, entry requirements etc.

Some do, but many do not.  It can be really vexing to have to search through their home sites, and still not have a clear idea of how much a particular course is going to cost.

Is it because they think we will all be frightened away?

Same reason commercial sites hide prices too (e.g. if you're trying to get a quote for a service, you often have to email). They want you to be enticed by the 'product' first so that by the time you find the cost you've already been enticed.

Why would they make it easy to find these things when there's so much competition?

P

Because they wouldn't want to scare possible prospects/students away. One way of marketing strategy that establishments uses these days that's why it's very important to read the details from top to bottom and front to back..
