Theresa May will deliver a speech on Monday announcing a review of higher education funding, warning universities they may need to charge less for some courses.
Critics, including those from within her own party, have said forcing higher education institutions to change the existing structure whereby all undergraduate courses cost £9,250 a year is unworkable.
Calculations by the London Economics consultancy firm found that cutting fees down to £6,000 – as has been proposed for some humanities courses – would take more than £3bn a year away from universities, and mainly benefit higher earning graduates, who would pay less back in student loans.
The review is also also expected to look at the way interested is applied to student loans.
We want to hear from people who are in education or are considering applying for university as well as recent graduates. What do you think of the planned review? How do you see the cost of university in relation to your situation or experiences?

If you are a current or recent student, is or was your course worth the amount charged? Have you changed your mind about going to university and how much does what the prime minister has said bear on that?
