So there we have it, the cost of a degree looks set to march onwards to £27,000, plus living expenses. Not an insignificant amount of money. The BBC provides an alternative discussion, but in essence prices are rising to £6,000 pa, with an upper cap of £9,000, although this will come with requirements for fair access. The concern of many universities is that, with the removal of state funding, £9,000 will only allow them to tread water and probably slip back in real terms.

There are some other articles around the issue: $200,000 degree, 2yr degrees… I guess we’ll see if a market will develop and, indeed, if we see a rise in state-funded science courses.
