Series: Bloomsbury Higher Education Research

Published open access, Changing Higher Education for a Changing World draws on the outcomes of the cutting-edge research programmes of the UK-based Centre for Global Higher Education, the world’s largest social science research centre focused on higher education and its future. In countries with incomes at European levels, the majority of all families now have connections to higher education, and there is widespread popular interest in how it can be made better. Together, the contributors sharply illuminate key issues of public and policy interest across the world:

Do research universities make society more equal or more unequal? Are students graduating with too much debt? Who do we want to be attending universities? Will learning technologies will abolish the need for bricks-and-mortar higher education institutions? What can countries do to improve their scientific performance? How can comparative teaching assessment and research assessment become much more effective?

The book explores higher education in the major higher education regions including China, Europe, the UK and the USA.

Reviews for Changing Higher Education for a Changing World

Higher education researchers will approach this book with keen anticipation ... The consistency of these accounts is a tribute to editorial control and direction, as well as the excellence of the contributors ... a major contribution to our research-based understanding of higher education policy and practice. * Higher Education * A vivid snapshot of higher education development in a world during the surge of populism and before the pandemic. It serves extremely well as a timely awakening. Its themes, contents and contributing authors from the research team reminds us of the pressing need for our concerted efforts in defending further integration on a global scale. * Rui Yang, Professor and Associate Dean of Education, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong * Breathtaking in its breadth – from public good in South African undergraduate education to the existential crisis in post-Brexit UK – this well-written volume presents the most recent scholarship emerging from the world’s leading centre for higher education research * Glen Jones, Professor of Higher Education and Dean of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada * A thoughtful, data-driven and extraordinarily useful analysis of key themes shaping the global higher education landscape. * Philip G. Altbach, Founding Director, Centre for International Higher Education, Boston College, USA *
