A 2010 NUS survey indicates
that the average student will
spend around
£1000
on books & materials each
academic year.

What do you think about the cost of textbooks?

“Due to caring responsibilities at home, most
of my study is done at home in the evening,
when my children are in bed. Therefore I
cannot use the university library to study.”
“Material changes every year so it’s difficult to
find useful second hand copies.”
“There are more recommended reading books
than I can afford to buy or have time to read.”
“They are extremely useful, but expensive
considering the fact that we pay £9000 tuition
fees.”
“When 6 subjects have 5-10 books on the
‘suggested reading’ list, it becomes impossible
to obtain all of them.”
“Text books are ridiculously priced. They are
aimed at students but are completely out of
their price range. £100 for one book!”
Quotes from UWE Students
Rolfe, V. Could open textbooks improve the experience of all students?
Coping with the Cost
• Purchase an older edition of the textbook
• Delay purchasing the textbook
• Never purchase the textbook
• Share the textbook with other students, either
directly or via the library.
• Download textbooks from the internet
–U of MN Student
"I figured French hadn't changed that
much.”
Have you ever delayed purchasing a textbook because of cost?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjaTJC8zZJ4
7/10
students surveyed hadn’t bought a required
textbook due to cost.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4IswNs0WWE
The Academic Impact
• 80% thought purchasing textbooks was an important
part of their studies
• 88% of students claimed to have skipped purchasing a
textbook because of the price.
• 9% claimed to have changed their course because of
the cost of books associated with it.

They are aimed at students but are completely out of their price range. £100 for one book!” Quotes from UWE Students Rolfe, V. Could open textbooks improve the experience of all students?
