How does society benefit from a university education?
The debate around tuition fees has led many to question the value of higher education. But the broader public benefit of universities is bigger than expected, says Faiza Shaheen.

The New Economics Foundation (Nef) was commissioned by Universities UK (UUK), the umbrella body representing 133 universities in the UK, to consider this question. We found that the public value was much bigger than most would expect.
