Going to stop tweeting out the Office for Students report now, in order to pick the bits of my shattered chin off the ground. Here's a not-implausible modelling scenario: an 11% decline in overall student number means £4.5bn lost revenue, 75% of providers in deficit. Arg. 😱

Me reading the Office for Students report.

Here's another revealing chart from the Office for Students report: just to create bad - not good - finances, universities are going to pile up international student numbers. Next year? An increase of 7%; the year after that, 5.3%; the year after that, 4.4%. Hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmm. 🤔

Hello - this chart from the Office for Students tells you why university bankruptcy won't fall where you imagine. It's the 'larger research-intensives' that are predicting massive increases in international fees to keep going.

How about this from the Office for Students report today: just in order *to stay afloat*, universities are predicting a huge rise in fees from international students. That's very... brave.
