Ospanov Y.T. – Candidate of Philological Sciences,Master of Educational leadership and Management,Acting Associate Professor ofNarxoz University,Almaty, Kazakhstan. Current UK higher education is totally commercialized, but it causes some concerns among scholars, because
comercialization could be restricted in terms of tuition, research and authority. This paper examines the effect of com-
mercialization on UK higher education. It discusses some arguments regarding cost, academic research and inde-
pendence of higher education in the UK. According to this research commercialization can lead to rising costs of higher
education and paucity of communication in the academic community. Nevertheless, it argues that commercialization is
a good system for universities in their funding and competition. Futhermore, it concludes that the UK higher education
system is one of the best and other countries can learn some features from the UK.
