Group says deficit would widen to £4,000 under plan to freeze tuition fees in England until 2024-25

A submission by the Russell Group of research-intensive universities – including the University of Manchester and University College London – to a consultation on higher education funding revealed that the average cost per student was £1,750 more than they receive in tuition fees and teaching grants.
