University is broken. Students are paying through the nose. Graduates are struggling to find jobs. And a degree no longer seems to be the key to social mobility it once was. How did higher education fall apart, and how can we fix it?
Written, directed, and presented by Tom Nicholas.
Filmed and edited by Georgia Burrows.
Additional research and production assistance by Jack Carter.
