1: Summary:

This report shows factors that affect in accessibility to HE, change in the levelof TF, and HE finance.

Formal recommendations result through the study:

1) Historical change in TF relative to inflation, costs, and student’s finance.

2) Accessibility to HE affected by: student finance, opportunity cost

(alternatives), and fees level.

3) We need more research and understanding in TFs to develop successful

accessibility to HE.

2: Introduction:

Tuition fees analysis involves first historical background, change in fees for

programmes.

Second important meanings: Accessibility, Demand for HE. Finally, show

the resources of finance/cost to institutions & students.

Following these findings, conclusions recommendations to show how TF

might be controlled.

3: TF in early periods:



management is higher on average from all other programmes because it’s

important for human needs.5: Factors affect accessibility and demand for high education

Factors that influence accessibility to HE can be categorized to (legibility,

motivation, and availability). Financial barriers to HE, TF and other academic

expenses, and students motivation for further study all effect enrolment

decision.

Accessibility to HE increasing by rise in student’s financial assistance (aid

programmes, loans, grants, scholarships, bursaries). Family incomes effect

enrolment decision and probability of pursue HE.

Other factors include (alternatives available, impact of fees or expected

return, social factors, geographical area, information, quality, diversity of

programme, and enrolment decision).In table (2) student enrolled in HE increasing rapidly, doubling of number

enrolled lead to sharp increasing in universities costs which covered by

increasing Gov. Assistance or additional TF. Figure (2) show that UK students

are more than (EU and non EU) also number access to undergraduate 4 times

postgraduate, this indicates more opportunities of employment or high cost

f t d t !



Costs for universities include (expenditure for TF, books, supplies,

depreciation, and academic items plus the cost of forgone).

7: Conclusion:

1) The level of tuition fees change in long run due to:

Inflation,

operating and education costs,

and family incomes.2) At the same time there are differences between programmes and

universities in UK which also affect in TFs.

3) Accessibility affected by (alternatives available, impact of fees, family

income, and enrolment decision).

4) Universities financed through (TF revenue, government grants, researches,

investments, and other income).

5) Finance to students includes (loans, endowments, families, employment,

government aid, bursaries, and scholarships).
