Student tuition fee increase looming
Many reports, including from the BBC, this week have released details of Lord Browne's report of tuition fees, recommending that universities in England should be able to charge unlimited fees.
These recommendations have been met with opposition from students and the UCU lecturers union, claiming that the plan is "the final nail in the coffin for affordable higher education".
Various parts of the report hint towards a lift up to £12,000, but with benefits for those universities who charge less than £6,000.
The proposed limit for repaying a student loan could also rise to £21,000 rather than £15,000, along with an increase in the interest rate charged. At the moment, interest rates are based on the rate of inflation. The report proposes that students repay at a higher rate - similar to the rate that the government uses to borrow.
RDI provides a modern, affordable alternative
For those people looking to graduate without any debt and with a foot already on the career ladder, RDI provides a valid alternative.
A three year university degree with RDI costs on average £1,750 a year, whilst a two year MBA can cost just £2,500 a year. With cutting-edge technology, full tutor support and complete study flexibility, RDI leads the way in making modern learning available to all - at a significantly lower price than on-campus.
