Student loan scandal: Plymouth University probe over 'fraudulent' degrees
An investigation has been launched into alleged fraud involving degrees at Plymouth University, as BBC Panorama prepares to lift the lid on a "scandal" in higher education.
A special documentary titled Student Loan Scandal, to be aired on BBC One on Monday night, promises to expose how fraud is costing the taxpayer millions.
The BBC claims it has undercover footage that reveals how "shady education agents" are recruiting bogus students to private colleges to claim loans they should not have access too.
Agents supply fraudulent qualifications, offer to sell coursework and are able to "fake attendance", the broadcaster says
