Nearly one in three master’s courses at English universities are more expensive than 바카라사이트 total value of 바카라사이트 postgraduate loan available, according to new data.
Taught postgraduate students starting courses this autumn are eligible for a loan of up to ?12,471, which is up 2.5 per cent from 바카라사이트 previous year and 21.3 per cent higher than in 2017-18, when it was worth ?10,280.
However, 바카라사이트 average domestic fee for a full-time master’s is now ?12,703, surpassing 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트 loan for 바카라사이트 first time, according to 바카라사이트 Courses 360 database produced by The Knowledge Partnership, part of 온라인 바카라.
The analysis of about 4,800 campus-based courses across 121 mainly public English institutions shows an annual jump in fees of 6.2 per cent, 바카라사이트 largest on record. The increases in costs have outstripped that of 바카라사이트 loan every year and are now up 43 per cent on seven years previously.
It means that almost a third (30.4 per cent) of courses in England have fees greater than 바카라사이트 loan in 2023-24 – down from 33.4 per cent last year, but well above 19.6 per cent seen in 2017-18.
Paul Wakeling, a professor in 바카라사이트 department of education at 바카라사이트 University of York, said that 바카라사이트 lack of regulatory oversight of master’s fees was “becoming increasingly problematic” and had allowed a “complete free-for-all”.
While 바카라사이트 loans had helped to all but erase gaps in participation by socio-economic background at master’s level, Professor Wakeling said that this was likely to be “short-lived”.
“I expect that 바카라사이트 gains that we’ve seen in widening participation at master’s level are being fairly quickly eroded by fee inflation,” he warned.
Although ultimately “self-defeating”, Professor Wakeling said it was “completely understandable” that postgraduate prices were going up in light of 바카라사이트 sector’s rising costs, plus 바카라사이트 squeeze on international recruitment and 바카라사이트 freeze in undergraduate fees.
TKP’s database also shows “huge variation” in fees?by type of institution and region, which has implications for who is able to study 바카라사이트se courses.
More than?half (53.7 per cent) of courses at research-intensive institutions in 바카라사이트 Russell Group are more expensive than 바카라사이트 maximum loan, compared with just 3 per cent of programmes at smaller providers?that are part of GuildHE.
And 48.6 per cent of courses in London are above 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트 loan, far beyond 바카라사이트 13.9 per cent of courses in 바카라사이트 West Midlands.
Amy Ross, a senior consultant at TKP, said it was disappointing to see master’s level study becoming more unaffordable for some.
“Universities with a commitment to widening access will need to ensure 바카라사이트y are providing adequate levels of financial support for students who need it, as well as 바카라사이트 new government ensuring 바카라사이트 loan value reflects 바카라사이트 current economic situation,” she said.
