Student number caps on 'rip-off degrees' overlook their potential benefits for social mobility

The intention of the government intervention is to ensure that students get appropriate value from their courses.

Key Points: 
  • The intention of the government intervention is to ensure that students get appropriate value from their courses.
  • It also intends to make sure taxpayers aren’t left to foot the bill when students don’t earn enough to repay all of their student loans.
  • But less-selective universities – and the courses they offer – play a significant role in driving social mobility and supporting the local economy.
  • Overall, a student from a low-income background is four times more likely to be socially mobile if they attend university.

Student outcomes

    • Universities are already regulated based on their student outcomes.
    • The OfS publishes data on these student outcomes.
    • The cap on student numbers for particular courses now planned by the government is an additional penalty.
    • Despite the fact that the highest earners subsidise those who do not fully repay their student loans, we end up with a workforce that is rich and varied in background and skills and diverse in its make up.
