Štěpánová, Marie ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Rovná, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor thesis is a case study based on an analysis of the problems of higher education in Great Britain. In the first part, it deals with the genesis of the decision of British government to increase tuition fees of public universities. This took place in 2010 in the United Kingdom (apart from free Scottish schools). The second part analyzes arguments for and against the tuition fee increase. The period studied is from May to December 2010, meaning, between the general election which concluded in the creation of a surprising coalition of Liberal Democrats and Conservatives, and the tuition fees vote in the parliament. The differing views on university funding and on educational budget cuts between the two governmental parties caused disagreements in the coalition as well as within the parties. Liberal Democrats had to solve the dilemma whether to support the decision of promoting fee increase and following the recommendations of Browne's Review of Higher Education Funding and Student Finance, or to fulfill their pre-election promises, which were basically founded on the rejection of tuition fees. The proposal had some positive reactions from universities (Russell Group, UUK), raising arguments like the graduates' benefits from a degree, increase in competitiveness of British higher education...

Argumenty Bubliny Vyššího Vzdělání v USA
Kasanová, Barbora ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Prokop, Jaromír (referee)
Unsustainable business practices coupled with an illusion of the masses plagues the higher education model in the United States today. It used to hold that college was the key to a successful job for fresh graduates. . . . We are in the midst of a speculative bubble composed of inflated expectations about the university system. This paper aims to analyze that there is indeed a speculative bubble of the US Higher Education system. The increased demand for college, skyrocketing tuition and room & board fees, as well as easier access to loans for funding have contributed to the formation of this bubble.

Prospects for funding tertiary education in the Czech Republic
Pálešová, Linda ; Urbánek, Václav (advisor) ; Kubík, Rudolf (referee)
This thesis discusses the possibilities of funding terciary education in the Czech Republic. The first section deals with funding of an existing educational system and its shortcomings. They result in the necessity of higher education reform, which can not be implemented without additional funds provided by the student participation in the form of tuition fees. The issue of tuition fees, its forms and arguments for and against are therefore described in the next section of this paper. Relatively large part is further given to the financial support from the state government, which is inevitable in case of introducing tuition fees. At first I resume current direct and indirect financial support and highlight its inefficiency. Subsequently, I describe and analyze three specific financial models of student loan funding base, which I compare and evaluate. In conclusion I recommend the most efficient model.

Návrh bankovního produktu zaměřeného na financování univerzitního vzdělání v České republice
Růžičková, Lucie ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Dvořák, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with the situation in financing of tertiary education from both governmental and student perspective. Its objective is to find an efficient system of student support with focus on student loans that would be applicable in the Czech Republic, would promote an equal access to higher education also to students from lower socio-economic classes and at the same time would enable to increase cost-sharing in Czech tertiary education. The designed concept of student loans is based on best practices from selected European countries (Netherlands, United Kingdom and Hungary) in the background of proposed reform of Czech tertiary education. Finally, the concept is validated in a case study dealing with financing of the International Management master's programme at the University of Economics, Prague.
