This paper investigates the causal effects of the increase in tuition fees and the Great Recession on the risk of students dropping out of HE. For students from high unemployment areas the effect of the recession was positive for males and females. The tuition fee reform counteracted the recession effect for males, whereas for females the reform effect reinforced the recession effect. For students from low unemployment areas, the recession had no effect whereas the tuition fee reform reduced the risk of dropout. Differences in dropout behaviour occur between high and low income groups, and between different types of university. JEL Classification: I22, I28, J6
