Welcome to the third part of our miniseries on the state of higher education in the pandemic. In this episode, John and Alex speak about the "marketisation" of higher education, with the introduction of tuition fees. What does it mean to "get a degree", and how does the university experience weigh up to how it is sold? Then, Alex speaks with Nick Hillman of the Higher Education Policy Institute on the broader impacts of the reintroduction of tuition fees.
