About the event
The post election months will be a decisive period for the future shape of higher education. The “traditional university” model has been stretched to its limits. Recognising this, universities have formed mission groups

This conference will set out how institutions are planning a decisive route and role at a time of severe public sector restraint, demographic decline, rising student expectations, a more competitive international market and loud demands from all political parties for an improved offer to business.

The multiple pressures of the next three years will require decisive financial and policy choices by institutions about where they want to be in five and ten years. What courses will they deliver to which market of students, how will they demonstrate teaching and research excellence?

This conference will be the first major opportunity following the general election to understand and set, notwithstanding Browne Review, the real framework and future for higher education.
