Higher Education in England: Current Issues in Teaching and Research
Dr. Hubert Ertl
(Lecturer in Higher Education, Department of Education, University of Oxford)
This presentation provides a broad overview of the discussion about teaching and research at English universities. It briefly outlines the changing patterns of higher education (HE) in England in terms of the institutional set-up of the sector, the student body, degree structures and expenditure. The presentation discusses processes of change in HE in four main areas: funding, internationalisation, vocationalisation and quality assurance. This discussion is embedded within the discourse on the dynamics of the ongoing expansion of HE in England. The presentation concludes with an overview of how the complexities of the discourse on HE are mirrored in a Masters programme offered by the Department of Education at the University of Oxford.
