University graduates

MOST students oppose Labour’s decision to increase university tuition fees in England, a poll suggested today. 

In November, the government announced that undergraduate fees would rise from £9,250 to £9,535 for the 2025-26 academic year.

According to a poll by the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) think tank, 68 per cent of students oppose the increase.
