The Browne review of higher education funding1 and Coalition government’s major White Paper on Higher education: Students at the Heart of the System2 both marginalised two increasingly important groups of students – taught postgraduates (PGT) and research students (PGR). The Browne review, despite having postgraduate funding explicitly included in its terms of reference, used only one of 60-odd pages in its report to deal with the funding of postgraduate courses. Even the White Paper itself devoted only nine paragraphs to the issue in an 80 page document. Any new government will really have to do better than that.
