Warwick students occupy conference room in Arts Centre

A group around 30 students are currently occupying the Arts Centre Conference Room at the University of Warwick.

Middle Class March.

The 7am start was NOT welcomed, especially after a 2pm bedtime - specifically due to distractions online, this really has got to stop before it gets started!!

Review confirms drastic cuts to higher education

Tash Clark and Griffin O'Rourke

Universities in the UK will be hit by drastic funding cuts of 40 percent and enormous hikes in tuition fees as part of the government’s Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) released last week.

The Good Side of the Down Side?

Overall, it’s been a pretty bleak week or two in British Politics. First the long-awaited Browne review told us fees could rise thousands of pounds if the cap was to be lifted, and that graduates like us who benefit more out of university will have to pay more towards it. The Defence Review of last week also informed us of drastic cuts to the armed forces which could put Britain’s security at risk. As of last Wednesday’s comprehensive spending review, we have found out that the government will support these rising fees and slash university funding by 40 per-cent. It’s all pretty bleak - not really something I want to turn on the TV and listen to before a 9am lecture.
