A funding system predicated on student loan debt emerged, informed by neo-liberal thinking and ideas underpinning the marketization of higher education. Annual tuition fees of £9000 were introduced in 2012 for all full-time undergraduates, repaid by loans with repayments linked to graduates’ ability to pay. Sustaining these reforms and evidenced in the policy rhetoric, are a range of unsubstantiated assumptions about their impact, the benefits of student loans, and their effect on student behaviour. Loans sought to protect students from tuition fee increases, to make higher education more affordable, to encourage and widen higher education participation, and to promote student choice. But these aims have been realised only partially, and the 2012 reforms can undermine these aims. Student loans have not been embraced equally by all students, as anticipated. The fi...

Since 2010, the number of part-time undergraduate entrants living in England attending UK universities and English further education colleges has fallen annually. By 2015, the numbers nationally had decreased by 51%, by 63% at the Open University, and by 45% at other UK universities and FE colleges. These numbers continue to fall. This report examines the reasons for this decline and especially the role of the 2012 student funding reforms.
