People looking at the best universities due to student finance changes

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

Would-be university goers are looking to get on the best courses at the most prestigious learning institutes as a result of the changes to the student finance system, it has been suggested.

James Pullan, head of student property at Knight Frank - which was founded in 1896 as a valuations, surveying and auctions business - explained the introduction of higher tuition fees will see young people looking to make the most of their outlay by attending highly-regarded establishments.

The industry figure described the alterations to the setup as dramatic, noting the impact of the moves will be similar to a graduate tax.

He stated: "The winners from the new tuition fees regime will be the most prestigious universities amid a 'flight to quality', as students search for the very best course available for their fees."

As such, the effect on student finance should not serve to dramatically reduce the number of individuals heading into higher education in the years to come, rather these people will simply become more discerning when choosing their place of study.
