Traditional foresight regards graduating University and gaining a degree, a core strategic asset to attain in the UK, and can lead to further rewarding opportunities otherwise not available to non-graduates. In 2012 the government amended the way higher education is financed. Many institutions were able to treble their tuition expenses, now charging students up to £9,000 a year. Instead of resolving the finance immediately, students are able to take out a loan to cover the fees and their living outlay. A student only starts to pay the loaned money back once they begin to earn more than £21,000 a year. If they don't earn a salary of £21,000 or are unable to pay back the full amount after 30 years, the loan is written off.
