Cambridge is a fantastic place to be a student and we hope you enjoy your time here. Anne Campbell, our former MP was very active in amending the Higher Education Act to secure the best deal possible for students. The Higher Education Act will give more money to universities, putting their financing on a stable footing for the long term. The Act will also make going to university more affordable for students from all backgrounds.

Labour's record on higher education

Commitment: Under Labour we have seen record number of students in higher education.

Access: Labour believes that the best way to widen participation in higher education is to improve standards in secondary schools, and to this end we've doubled the amount spent per pupil since 1997.

Investment: Labour is committed to investing in knowledge to lead us out of recession. and we're increasing research funding by 7% in real terms this year.

Affordability: We're committed to making sure university is affordable for all. We've increased grants so that over two-thirds of pupils get a grant of £2,835. Whilst the Lib Dems have changed their position on fees, Cambridge Labour is holding firm - our parliamentary candidate Daniel Zeichner has promised not to vote for any increase in fees.
