My suggestion:
Unless you are applying for medicine or vet med, it doesn't make a blind bit of fucking difference what you write. We will judge you on your academic peformance.
Unless you are, of course, applying for a course where academic ability isn't important in which case STOP FUCKING RUINING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE PROPER STUDENTS.

I don't think in any way that the subject of the course is relevant, being honest
at least within reason.
The problem is more that you can do a degree in Chemistry from the University of Stoke, say. Which clearly isn't even going to get you a job adding chlorine to swimming pools.

There really isn't.
The use of external examiners is supposed to ensure this. But the more universities, the more shitty courses, the more shitty external examiners available. Obviously, employers in a specialist science/engineering field are unlikely to take your degree in any way seriously if the external examiner moderating it is Bobby Buttfuck from Padstow Tech, but then prospective students, probably understandably, rarely check that.

There's no really clear regulation of qualifications
this is why all decent science and engineering degrees are accredited by certain industry bodies.
Unlike a University of Stoke science degree.
There may not even be a University of Stoke. I don't know. The point is valid.

That's still fuck all good if you do a Chemistry degree.
Now is it?
I never said all degrees from Stoke Poly were shit. Or, for that matter, that all degrees from a redbrick etc. were good. Just the point that "worthless degrees" are not decided purely by field, but by whether that particular course at that particular institution has any value or respect within said field.

It's not against any leftie principle to deny University education to those that won't benefit from it.
My leftie principles remembers that there used to be other routes for people to take, tech colleges, apprenticeships, and rails against the loss of those.

it should be merit based, with a bias in favour of those at state schools
although frankly anyone could get an a at a-level, they're hardly difficult. depending on what you score, you get a contribution to your fees. otherwise, if you want to go, you have to pay.
meanwhile employers should look closely at what is actually valuable. clue: it's not going to be fucking Chaucer for an hour a week for 3 years.
