| Topic | New Trends in UK Higher Education: The Future of Higher Education |
| Lecturer(s): | Leslie Wagner Professor and Vice-Chancellor, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK |
| Language | English |
| Abstract: | Future development of UK higher education will be based on the government’s recent policy statement on “The Future of Higher Education”, the main features of which are an increase in government spending and universities being allowed to charge students fees up to ?’3,000 per annum from 2006. Students will receive increased loans, payable when their income as graduates rises. Research funding from the government will be more highly concentrated in fewer universities, while other institutions will have to seek funds from elsewhere e.g. industry. Universities will be encouraged to give prospective students from less affluent families a more favorable chance to gain admission, with a regulator to ensure this is done. Conferral of two year foundation degrees will increase, which can lead either to employment or onto honor’s degrees. Knowledge exchange between universities and industry will be promoted. Furthermore, it will no longer be necessary to offer research degrees before being awarded university status. These are the main issues which will be discussed at the seminar. |
