This autumn marks the 10th anniversary of tuition fees rising to £9,000 a year in most parts of the UK but the debate about whether this represents 'value for money' seems more urgent than ever. Although their value in 2012 prices is approaching £6,000, tuition fees still loom large in the national consciousness – and on student loan arrears sheets – prompting universities to make the case whenever they can about why higher education provides good value for students. For the economists and politicians who have championed growing student enrolments, the clear link between achieving a university degree and future earning potential is often the strongest proof that students receive value for money.
