Should the UK abolish university tuition fees?

Yes, and write-off existing student debt

Yes, for medical students who will later pursue a job in the NHS

Yes, but only for degrees which are for jobs such as Nursing, Ambulance Service, and Policing. However, only reduce for other degrees.

No but they should be reduced for low-income UK citizens so that they have access to the same education opportunities

No, but they should be reduced for vocational subjects, such as medicine. Grants should be readily available to those from poorer backgrounds.

Yes, but university admission should be rigorous and the total number of students attending university smaller

Education should be for all, other training courses and apprenticeships should also be offered free to those who would otherwise be unable to do them

I feel that tuition fees should be abolished for citizens of the UK, however I feel that it should not be so easy to get into University. Every man and his dog has a degree in something or another these days, meaning that the value of a degree is diminished. There is so much competition for graduate jobs it is not worth applying for them. Degrees should be for the best achieving acadmics - OR for those who are GENUINELY pursuing a particular career that only a degree will unlock. Not just something to do after college / 6th Form for lack of anything else.

Yes. Free education enables everybody from all backgrounds the chance to improve their lives

Only for highest of marking students, and lowered for UK citizens

Fees should be reduced .

No, but they shouldn't have added interest to pay back also, it should just be the amount that you borrow.

No, but implement scholarships for those driven and less fortunate, remove the student loan system and implement an upfront or payment plan system.

School is a human right and shouldn't cost any money. Schools are treated as private property. Private property is bad and schools should be state funded.

Yes, it should be lowered back down to 3K p/a and completely abolished for key workers such as education or medicine.

Only for STEM, Law, and Medicine. No "gender studies" or "queer theory" degrees (avoid taxpayer waste).

No but admissions should be done in a more egalitarian way and scholarship programs should be more widely available to lower income households. Additionally there should be the promotion of other avenues of higher education, apprenticeships etc… for those who don’t want/cant financially/are not adept to joining university

Only have university for actual STEM and complicated jobs that require a degree for a useful job. Arts and other subjects should focus on technical collages and natural skill through internships and apprenticeships.

No, and create bursaries not limited to but including the traditional trades such as plumbing, gas, electrical and construction to decrease the ridiculous numbers going to university.

Yes, however, the government should abolish fees for STEM subjects ensuring the UK has limitless opportunity. All other courses should be paid for.

No, and remove the cap. University needs to become elite again, and other tech/apprentice qualifications need to be promoted.

Yes, provided that university returns to being a more prestigious affair, where higher education is not seem simply as the norm, but a chance to pursue more opportunities

Yes, but only for those which meet certain requirements (e.g. studying or having citizenship in the UK or partner countries)

that would be a goal but concentrate on lowering it gradually or maybe start with lowering them by 25%

Stem subjects and certain literature subjects should be covered by the governments and certain ones should be covered in the aim of promoting teachers

No, but introduce student loan payment matching schemes for people working for the NHS, police, etc.

If the is an economic insentive for the government to invest in higher education - although not at the moment due to mickey mouse degrees and cost of living crisis

No, people who go to university should not be paid for by people who don’t, but fees could be brought down if the weaker universities closed and funding was redistributed to the stronger universities

No, universities should be free to charge whatever they see fit and subjects should have a graduate tax scheme available in proportion to their employability.

Universities should be reviewed in terms of how much money is actually spent helping the student from the fees it collects, and a crackdown on high fees should be introduced. We should not subsidise the increase in fees, otherwise they will keep increasing.

Yes, but only for Europeans, and if the government pay the universities the equivalent amount so they can continue to operate.

NO, they should however be lowered to a much more affordable price however the tuition fee is needed to provide higher levels of education for those going to university

Introduce alternatives to university to increase competition and align higher education with job market demand

yes and no, I agree with all the above reasons. low income families should have fees abolished or at least heavily reduced especially if they are studying in fields of high job demand but I don't think that someone who is the child of a billionaire should be able to go to university for free

Yes, but universities should be more exclusive, it shouldn't be expected for everyone to go to university.

Only for poor people and they must do well in their A LEVELS aswell as want to study in a subject for an industry that needs more workers

No, but degrees relevant to aiding the public should be subsidised. Apprenticeships should be pushed.

No, universities need profit so raise the tuition fees to £15000 flat, but the government claims anything over £9500.

Remove all government influence over Uk universities. Enable prices to be fluctuated through supply and demand and remove price caps as it incentivises useless degrees

No, introduce a better system for reducing those fees for graduates that go on to work for services such as the NHS, military, etc.

The government should link national service (and military service) to reduced or nil university fees.

lower tuition fees + add a law where universities can't discriminate against domestic students so they have to get higher grades since they pay less, make university grades lower and more realistic

No, but those with the academic potential to do well should be encouraged to do so with scholarships, subsidiaries or even no tuition cost dependent on their background. There should also be precautions to students before going to university because many fall into the rabbit hole of feeling you need to go and then fall into debt which is avoidable if educated properly beforehand. Those who can pay should pay.

I think jobs that would involve social services should be free but with fixed employment contracts at the end. i.e. free doctor and nurse studies but they are tied into working for the NHS for 5 - 10 years before having the freedom to work in private practices.

Yes, If Universities were funded similarly to other forms of education, you wouldn't need for such an high entry level fee. Once passed a certain threshold of age or attempts then payment may have to be enabled.

Yes but university places should be more exclusive, students without sufficient College grades should be moved into different paths.

As a University student myself I would love to say yes however I think Universities should be paid for by students who CHOOSE to go there as it would be a huge financial burden on the state.

Yes, but only in degrees such as STEM subjects and creative subjects. Not subjects such as one studying Harry Styles.

If the course is STEM focused or actually contributes to society then remove them for those courses, however, courses that serve no benefit and make a mockery of the education system nullifying the credibility of courses should be chargable.

Yes but only for students studying in fields of high demand. Payback rules should be amended to reduce increasing debt

Should be greatly reduced, with more government funding to provide greatly subsidised or free tuition for low income families

University places should be capped to provide real advantages for those who have studied. The system as it is encourages universities to bloat places to harvest fees without considering the good of the students' education.

Universities should charge what they think is necessary to value. Create a system where if you serve in the military you are given free tuition during and after service. Similar to the U.S

It’s already free in Scotland, should remain this way and the rest of the uk should become free also.

No fees for graduates in stem or core degrees, such as engineering, maths the sciences and medical degrees.

It should only be abolished for students from low income families studying jobs that are extremely in demand like doctors or nurses or teaches ect.

Because go to university just to have one big party and study something silly like photography or art which is extremely easy to learn on YouTube for free but people just want to go to Bristol or Manchester to party and then get themselves in debt which they can never pay off because they’re low paying jobs and usually freelance

No but reduce or abolish the interest rates to make it more affordable - currently it is working as an interest only repayment system and then gets written off after 25years this doesn’t make sense

No, but they should be aligned to getting people into work not just a university degree. university attendees should have to pay back there tuition regardless of amount earned and time lapsed.

Yes, for citizens and also waive student loans that are existing, or 0 interest rate on student loans

No, but student loans should be monitored to ensure they are only spent on their intended purpose. E.g. education and living. NOT alcohol and drugs etc

Tuition fees allow the education to have value, however, they should be reduced and payment plans and interest rates should be significantly reduced.

Yes for students studying high demand fields and depending on income. Partial (up to 60%) depending on income and if student passes all exams.

Yes, but only for students studying for civil services jobs such as NHS, police, firefighting, etc. Besides that, they should be reduced.

Government pay tuition fees for people studying essential subjects such as sciences , medicine, engineering etc

It should be for at least professions where you need the degree and learning for over 5 years like a doctor

Well as long as your in education you are earning a specific amount then pay but if not approve by use of I'd and passport and as long as your in full time post education and in English and Maths then yes abolish

Fees should be significantly reduced by between 50-85% dependent on the course being taken and how costly it is to run that course - it is a system where a majority of students gain very little value except those with careers directly attached i.e. doctors. The courses should not be free though, otherwise potential students will abuse this and have a free period where they contribute nothing to society for 3+ years.

Yes, for all degrees that lead to jobs where the is an industry shortage, eg Nurses, Doctors, Dentists, Construction, Police, Lawyers etc

No, they should be reduced - universities should also be monitored and audited by a non-partisan government body to ensure they aren't profiteering off of tuition fees.

Option to pay up front, take a loan or be taxed. Reduced fees for all. Free for high job demand courses and lower income students.

Student loans should be abolished, and private industries should pay for degrees. The NHS should pay for doctor and nurse degrees, aviation for pilot degrees. The list goes on.

There should be good state-funded free universities (like schools) and then the families will have the choice between private and state universities.

They should be reduced and/or means-tested, and means-tested grants should be more readily available for all, especially for low-income students.

They should be removed for essential valued vocations e.g. teachers, doctors, nurses etc but should be retained for other professions but at a more reasonable rate. Why they trebled in the first place was a baffling decision. If our children are the future then teach them well and let them lead the way.

Yes but replace with graduate tax however reduce the amount current debts that students have already.

Yes but only for degrees which are mandatory for specific jobs and there should be a tie in period where you must work in that field

There are enough barriers in life without education being one of them. Education is hard enough without the added financial barrier. People begin to need to learn different things at different times in life. We should have free education at point of service like the NHS as it is just as vital. There is no illusion that it doesn't need to be paid for somewhere. However we should have it as part of our tax infrastructure. The economy would boom if everyone were given access to higher education as it has done since everyone has a smartphone in their pocket. To make lifelong learning a habit…  Read more rather than have leaving school as a milestone the solution is simple and right in front of our faces. Just break it down. Instead of courses with modules have just modules that you build yourself up to a degree. Don't have a hit or miss system that you aren't able to repeat. Like gaming, can I repeat the level without restarting the entire game? Why do we have to complete university over 3-4 or 6-16 with open university? If we break it down into just modules we can have a system of how many modules have you completed in such and such field to ascertain to what degree you have expertise in that field. If you have experience in industry to complement your study that should count. Completed modules could rank alongside performance reviews from allowing earlier entry into the industry of your field of study towards getting pay and promotions based upon increasing your studying.

They should be abolished for high demand jobs and fees should be reduced for other courses. Pointless degrees should be subject to higher fees.

I don't mind paying towards it. But what it currently is, is to high. And I can't understand what that money has actually been spent on

Yes. But only for students who actually want to go to uni not just for those who don't want to work yet

Yes but only if the household makes under a certain amount per year or are from a genuine single parent household with no influence from the othe roarent

Yes, and reduce cost for uk citizens and refund students from covid years with no quality of education provided

We need to be looking at the value of university courses. Where students are failing to find jobs these courses should be reviewed. Charging fees for a course of no value is criminal.

Tuition fees should remain but should be repaid over 30 not 40 years at the Bank of England base rate of interest. Payment should only start when a graduate earns over the national average wage

They should be reduced, but also other study or professional options should be available, like apprenticeships. And apprenticeships should be generally respected more.

If fees are charged there should be more accountability for the services provided and more value for money. From experience I don't think £27, 000 equated to actual tuition received!

Certain degrees eg doctors - if they stay employed in the NHS for 10 years then wiped clean same with teachers etc

I don’t believe you should have to pay tuition fees for a degree that leads to a role such as nursing or teaching

No, but they should be reduced, and introduce more scholarships for low-income families with potential prodigious students.

Yes, but the selection process should be changed to allow fewer students into University education. Alternative further education and vocational routes should be developed for other young people who wish to continue to develop their knowledge and skills.

No, but apprenticeships and vocational careers should be encouraged more. too many students dont end up using their degrees.

Yes, but only for low income families and jobs in high demand. All other tuition fees should be dramatically reduced

All degrees that have been passed in the UK should have a eequirement for the student to stay in the UK for 3 to 5 years to pay back into the economy

For particularly low income families there should be more of an allowance, for high income they should pay a higher amount, middle income should be lower too

No, but prices keep increasing which is not sustainable. If prices for tuition keep rising then less people will want to attend further education and more job vacancies will start to arise

Yes, but admissions should be gated to individuals who are likely to succeed so funding isn't wasted on those who desire the 'uni experience'

Yes, or lowered. Low income families should get support, and not through student loans with increasing interest rates.

YES, YES, YES!!! Abolishing it would certainly give equal chances to all, regardless of income or background, the same tight yo knowledge. It would also certainly improve the UK's appalling level of ignorance and diminish the extreme current social divide and give all youth the belief and hope in a better future. Knowledge is a basic human right.

No, but fees should be means tested and financial assistance to lower income families made available.
