Students starting university this Autumn will see a three-fold increase in fees - and they say they want value for money. But with universities experiencing a squeeze on the funding they receive from Government, can they give students what they want?
Reporter Phil Mackie reports that some universities are now running courses at a loss - and hears from consultants who warn that a number of institutions are unlikely to be financially viable in the longer term. They warn that the changes to the university funding system could have potentially "devastating consequences."
Producer: Samantha Fenwick.
