Changing University (Society for Research into Higher Education)

by TomSchuller (Editor)

Synopsis

In the UK, the end of the binary line has meant an immediate increase in the number of universities, with added pressures on those institutions. But how far has the system really changed to meet the new challenges - and the old ones? This book examines changes in the student population, in teaching and learning processes, in funding, leadership and organizational styles. It places these in a broad international context, with contributions drawing on experience from North America, Australasia, Africa, Europe and the World Bank. It includes a perspective from further education and a look back at the last 30 years in UK higher education.

Media Reviews
...a well-researched and worthy contribution to the debate on how far higher education has changed, will change or should change...there is much to ponder on in the volume and scholars of higher education will find it an invaluable tool. - The Lecturer ...well edited and readable. - Higher Education ...excellent collection, which will be of relevance to higher education for years to come...All chapters in this book are a thoroughly worthwhile read and provide a comforting balance between pessimism about the current muddy waters of higher education and optimism about the future if appropriate action is taken soon. - New Academic
