Is University Really Worth It?
Comedian Geoff Norcott investigates universities to find out if a degree is still worth it. He meets students at war with their institutions and those suing for a refund.
Comedian and former teacher Geoff Norcott has a tough decision to make - start a university fund for his son to follow in his footsteps and attend university or buy himself a new car. To determine which option is better value, Geoff investigates the country’s higher education system. Along the way, he meets students at war with their institutions, graduates suing their universities and starving students, and explores university alternatives.
With student satisfaction at an all-time low, are Britain's universities still the world-beating institutions they once were? Lecturers are striking, online learning is the new normal and grades are being inflated. Has the system become too focused on profit and not enough on the student?
