Twenty years ago just about 12 percent young people received higher education . Today more than 33 percent do so . Over the same period the number of undergraduate deg-rees awarded in Britain has risen from just over 100,000 a year to more than 260 000 a year . This does not mean that the quality of a degree is necessarily lower , but it does mean a university degree is no longer a qualification as distinctive as it once was . But the economy
has also moved on and the demand for graduates has grown at the same time as the supply has increased . If the growth over the past 20 years has been rapid , the expansion since the first big explosion of university growth in the mid -1960s is even more dramatic . In 1965 just over 400,000 students studied at British universities Today the figure is 1.8 million .
Englishmen have seen a shift from a university system serving a smal number of outstanding people to one that is now closer to the mass university systems of the USA or many continental European countries . At the same time , the university experience has gone from a five - star , luxury design to a mass - transit economy model . Not '一 reveals this moreobviously than the amount of public money spent on each student . This has falen from over £7,500 just over a decade ago to around £4,800 today .
The result is that most of today ' s students receive no grants to cover living costs , about half must pay something toward their tuition costs , and all face more crowded lecture theaters and less individual time with staff .
According to a survey , the top five courses are : business and management studies , computer science , law , psychology , and primary education . You have to go to the sixth place to find the first purely academic subject , namely English .
