Why Attend?
UK higher education is under intense financial strain. Domestic tuition fees have been frozen at £9,250 since 2017, losing value every year to inflation. Nearly 72% of universities are expected to run deficits, with some already cutting staff to manage multimillion-pound shortfalls. Reliance on international student enrolments is no longer reliable, as visa restrictions and global uncertainty drive volatility.
At the same time, students are demanding digital-first, flexible services that align with modular study and the UK’s new Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). Yet many institutions still rely on slow, manual, paper-based credentialing — adding cost, risk, and missed revenue opportunities.
Digital credentialing offers a smarter way forward. With the right strategy, universities can streamline operations, reduce fraud, and unlock sustainable new income streams through modern pricing models.
