The Higher Education Summit: The Future of Universities
07 Feb 2017
About the event
The Higher Education and Research Bill represents the biggest shake up of universities in England since 1992. It comes at a time when the sector is already struggling to come to terms with the implications of Brexit. The Government aims to boost the economy and close the skills gap by introducing more flexible HE courses; increasing the number of course providers and improving access for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. At the same time; “United Kingdom Research and Innovation” will be established to facilitate and support university research. Despite Chancellor Philip Hammond’s commitment to matching EU funding for universities; there is still concern that leaving the European Union will affect student numbers and co-operation with international institutions.
