In the first episode of this new series, Conor Nakkan explores the issue of student finance and higher education with Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at WonkHE.

Jim says: "One of the things I constantly say is this system is like an onion. There are lots of layers. Every time you remove one, you're more likely to cry."

This complex subject has finally made headlines in recent months after years of campaigning from students and graduates, who have argued the system is not fair. Is that the case?
