Tuition fees impact on UK university applications
An independent panel of experts says the increase in university tuition fees in England is affecting applications with a clear drop in the numbers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/news/education-19182000
This is an inevitable consequence of ever inflated tuition fees. The study shows that higher ranked universities still have strong demand for places. Perhaps candidates are measuring the worth of the qualifications they will get against the crippling debt they will carry afterwards?
Employers will always recognise the quality of a degree from Oxford and Cambridge (as well as other top institutions). Student’s realise that these qualifications will open doors in the future.
A degree from a lower ranked university is unlikely to create the same opportunities but will generate the same debt.
