One third of Britons - including more than half of 18-24 year-olds - think the cost of university is not worth it for people currently considering applying, a Sky Data poll reveals.

Just over half - 54% - say university it still worth it, but 35% now say that it is not. Among 18-24-year-olds, 53% say it is not worth it, while 39% say it is.

Among those who have already been to university, 76% said it was worth it, while 22% said it was not.

The gap was much smaller among younger people, however, with six in 10 of university attendees aged 18-34 saying it was worth it, compared with well over eight in 10 among older graduates.
