Hidden Uni Costs; Help to Downsize; Cutting-edge Cinema

You and Yours

Available for over a year

New research shows that one in five students find university to be poor value for money - and its not just the fees that leave students struggling. As the Competitions and Markets Authority reviews consumer regulation for higher education, You and Yours investigates what the hidden charges are for students, how they arise and what can be done about them. A group of MPs wants to the government to introduce measures to help elderly homeowners to downsize. They say better planning and assistance would make the process easier and free up housing for younger buyers. Will it work? Cinema audiences are falling and ticket prices are rising. We take a look at the cutting edge technologies that the industry hopes will tempt us back to the movie-houses.
