Estimating the Cost to Government of Providing Undergraduate and Postgraduate Education

Authors: Jack Britton, Claire Crawford

This report estimates the cost to government of providing undergraduate higher education. It illustrates the sensitivity of our estimates to changes in the underlying assumptions, and examines the financial and distributional implications of various changes that have been proposed to the system. It also provides new estimates of the likely cost to government of offering a £10,000 loan to postgraduate students, as proposed in Autumn Statement 2014.

There’s more to higher education funding than the RAB charge

Higher education funding has been a hotly-debated topic in recent times, with the RAB charge – the government subsidy inherent in the student loan system – a prominent focus of these debates. On the back of new research published today, researchers at the Institute for Fiscal Studies argue that this focus comes at the expense of a wider discussion around how much the government should subsidise the higher education system as a whole, and how best to deliver this. The new report has re-examined the current funding system for undergraduate higher education, highlighting its uncertain public finance implications. It also provides new estimates of the financial consequences of a series of reforms to the system of undergraduate funding, which have been proposed by various interested parties, and offers a first look at the likely costs associated with several potential ways to implement the new postgraduate loan system, announced by the Chancellor in his final Autumn Statement of the parliament.
