Reform & review Higher Education funding and admission policies

Petition Details

Evidence suggests that Universities are in crisis and we believe it's the responsibility of the Government to fix it. We're calling for increases in government grant funding to Universities, a reintroduction of student number caps and a review of restrictive immigration policies.

Additional Information

Further evidence suggests as many as 70% of UK universities are experiencing serious financial strain, heading into deficit in 2025-26, while there have been more than 4,000 course closures since 2024 and13,300 job cuts in 2024-25 alone. Students and staff are bearing the weight of government decisions. Universities are reporting deficits, shutting down campuses, and confronting the very real threat of closure. We need to act now to prevent further redundancies, protect local economies and defend choice and opportunity for students.
