How much do Scottish degrees cost the student and the country?

Scotland is avoiding making students pay fees, but it doesn't mean the cost of studying has disappeared. Sixth year student Robin Drummond asks what the true cost of a degree is.

Starting a four year university degree costs money. It costs to keep out of the job market and pay for books and accommodation and it costs the university thousands of pounds to educate the student.

Is it worth it? Sixth year school student Robin Drummond delves into the true cost of a degree, and asks whether it could be done differently.

Produced by Lucy Lloyd.
