Four in 10 students say university not good value – survey
Four in 10 of the first students to pay higher fees do not believe their courses have been good value for money, a survey for BBC Radio 5 live suggests.
Just over half say their university course has been good value and about 8% are undecided.
The survey of 1,004 final-year students also shows 46% would do the same course again.
Universities UK said the last national student survey found 86% of students were satisfied with their course.
The survey, carried out by ComRes from 1-7 May, focused on undergraduates in their final year of degree courses in 2015.
These students were the first to pay higher fees of up to £9,000 per year, after the price of university tuition trebled in 2012.
Many commentators predicted there would be a fall in student numbers but this did not happen.
