Today we have published the latest in our Policy Series: The Future of Quality in England. This new paper examines the relationship between quality and the current English higher education funding landscape.
While part of a series focused on the impacts of the funding situation in England, the paper also reflects sets of circumstances being experienced across all four nations of the UK.
The paper recognises the impacts of the real terms reduction in the value of the domestic student tuition fee, which is now worth less than three-quarters of what it was when it was introduced 12 years ago, and notes that universities on average last year, subsidised the cost of teaching home undergraduates by around £2,500 per student.
