Call You and Yours: Value for money in higher education

Consumer phone-in with Julian Worricker. Will the costs of a university degree in England lead students to be more creative in how they complete and buy their qualifications?

Call You & Yours: The cost of a traditional degree at an English university could easily saddle post graduates with debts in excess of £50,000 but what are the alternatives? Could students be cannier in how they buy and complete their qualifications? Is the future perhaps online; a handful of English students are choosing to study abroad now and the Open University has long provided an excellent model for those who want to combine study with their paid employment. Now that students are consumers how will the market in education providers change to meet demand?
