Bright Blue, the liberal conservative think tank, welcomes the Government's plan to introduce two-year fast track degrees.

Fast-track degrees with higher annual fees are to be introduced in universities under plans announced by the government.

Commenting, Ryan Shorthouse, director of Bright Blue said:

"We should welcome this. But in order for it to work, especially for mature students, all students need be able to access tuition fee loans, including those doing an Equivalent or Lower Qualification."
