More students think they are not getting good value for money from university, suggests an annual survey.
It found 31% of students thought their courses were poor or very poor value, up from 29% last year.
The survey, based on 10,000 students across the UK, was gathered in a year disrupted by Covid-19 and lecturers' strikes.
"Because of strikes and coronavirus there has been a massive gap in my learning," it quoted one student.
Only about a quarter of students felt they had been given enough information on how fees were spent.
There were also signs that more students felt they were getting useful feedback from staff on work that had been assessed.
And there will have to be clarity over how much will be paid in fees and how the course will be assessed. »
