'Go Compare' for universities launched

Students are to be given officially-approved key information about university courses, with details of how much it will cost, teaching hours and how much they are likely to earn.  This online information is aimed at giving consumer-friendly advice for students facing higher tuition fees.  Every one of the 31,000 higher education courses in the UK will carry a link to these "key information sets".  Rather like price comparison websites for financial services, students will be able to draw up their own lists of possible courses and compare them according to a range of preferences - such as tuition fee, the cost of housing or the satisfaction ratings of existing students  [ source BBC.co.uk ].  To visit the 'UniStats' website, click here.
