The number of students dropping out of university has risen by almost a quarter amid the cost of living crisis.
According to the Student Loans Company, nearly 40,000 students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland permanently left their university courses by the end of August – a 23% rise on last year.
We are interested in speaking to people in the UK who have permanently withdrawn from their studies in the last year. Why did you leave? What are you doing now?
