Universities are seeking to balance their financial strains by advocating for higher tuition fees and limited growth in international student numbers, amid inflationary pressures.
Vivienne Stern, UUK's chief executive, emphasized the need for a sustainable approach to international student numbers, considering the impacts on local services and accommodation availability.
The proposed blueprint calls for aligning tuition fees with inflation, highlighting that the costs of educating domestic students significantly exceed the current fee cap.
With tuition fees frozen since 2017, universities face severe financial challenges, must rely increasingly on international student fees, but also need stability to manage future growth.
