Last year’s HEPI / AdvanceHE Student Academic Experience Survey made for hard reading. Students were polled during the depths of the crisis, and their responses reflected the desolate mood of that period. For the first time, more students thought the value for money of their course was poor than thought it was good. About one-in-four students (27%) felt they had received good or very good value, compared with 44% perceiving poor or very poor value. The red and green lines in the graph below had never crossed over before, despite coming close in 2017 – but now they did so dramatically.
