Tuition Impossible

Is a major university at risk of going bust, and what happens if it does? Sophia Smith Galer hears how vital universities have become to the economic fabric of our towns and cities.

Universities are in crisis. They're facing social and financial pressures that threaten to undermine the foundations they're built on, maybe even their very existence.
Sophia Smith Galer won Celebrity University Challenge last year as part of the Durham team. As the first in her family to go to university she's a big fan of higher education.
Now Sophia's asking the questions and they're big difficult questions for British Universities. Is a major university at risk of going bust and what happens if it does? It the battle for free speech tearing universities apart? And is a degree still worth it?
Over three episodes, Sophia speaks to students, staff and leaders across the higher education sector.
