Today's students face rising tuition fees while the cost of living keeps going up. Their experience of studying is changing. Pressures on university finances mean their teachers are overstretched and class sizes are bigger, while AI changes their whole relationship to knowledge. And then they'll graduate into a challenging jobs market with some of the highest student loan debt in the world. Sophia Smith Galer speaks to students and their parents along with experts in the university sector and asks whether, in the face of all these challenges, is it still worth getting a degree?
