Universities in England beat Scots for funds
UNIVERSITIES in England could become larger and better funded than those in Scotland and other parts of the UK, a report warned yesterday.
The study, by Universities UK, considered the impact of devolution on higher education.
It found that although higher education was growing in all four countries, England had moved ahead on student numbers and research funding, compared to universities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The report highlighted concerns about tuition fee policies.
It noted that the different fee regimes that had sprung up since devolution had created "complexity" for students from one part of the UK who wanted to study in another.
