"A degree is worth every penny, but the value for money element depends on university choice and course.
For me, a good university is one of the old redbricks (currently called the Russell Group). In my view, the good courses are the more traditional academic ones, such as, Economics, Law, Maths, Modern Languages, English, History, Natural Science, Geography etc. These are the courses, if you have studied at a good university, which will attract the attention of future employers, assuming you want to go into a profession, business or teaching.
Having said this, the university experience is probably a great one at most places, as students have the chance to go deeply into a subject they are interested in, and enjoy all the extra-curricular activities including sport, drama, politics...and socialising.
The good news for students is that they have nothing to lose – if they choose not to work they don’t have to pay back the tuition fees. If students do work after university the amount they pay depends on how much they earn."
