Two university students have disrupted Senate question time as they protested federal government funding cuts.

"No cuts, no fees, no corporate universities," the students yelled, before security officials escorted them from the public chamber.

The Turnbull government wants to impose a 2.5 per cent efficiency dividend on universities in 2018 and 2019 and plans to increase student fees by up to $3600 over a four-year degree.
