Undergraduates enrolling on courses in England – where costs are higher than elsewhere in the UK – can expect to owe £59,100 when degrees finish, it was revealed.
Debt levels will be fuelled by a dramatic hike in tuition fees for students starting courses in 2012.
According to figures, the overall cost of a degree course – including fees, equipment, rent and living expenses – is expected to almost double under the new student finance regime.
By comparison, students starting courses this autumn can expect to owe £26,100.

Researchers found that student debt in Scotland, where tuition is free, was around half that of the rest of the UK.

Scotland is planning a new anti-English 'tax' to make it harder for students south of the border to escape soaring tuition fees.
The Scottish Nationalist government is looking at plans to raise fees for English undergraduates to bring them into line with average charges in England following reforms being brought in by the coalition.
But for Scottish students - and anyone coming in from Europe - the fees will be paid for by the taxpayer.
It is yet another example of the 'apartheid' which sees Scottish residents getting better services than those in England - despite paying far less per head in tax.
