Tuition fees and education contracts took over from funding body grants as the most important income source for UK universities in the most recent full academic year, according to the latest statistics. Figures released by the Higher Education Statistics Agency show fees and contracts accounted for 32.6 per cent of university income in 2010-11, up from 30.9 per cent in the previous year.

Top Scottish universities attacked over low numbers of poorest students
Student leaders have attacked top Scottish universities for their "awful" record on admitting impoverished students. National Union of Students (NUS) Scotland said several Scottish universities were among the worst in the UK for attracting poorer students. St Andrews University – a popular destination for English public school students after it was attended by Prince William – recruited just 13 people from the most deprived backgrounds, out of 7,370 undergraduates in 2010. The study, compiled using freedom of information requests, found that two other elite universities – Edinburgh and Aberdeen – had only 91 and 51 poor students respectively in 2010, out of total undergraduate numbers of 17,570 and 12,195.
