DESCRIPTION
Authors in “An avalanche is coming: Higher education and the revolution ahead(Michael Barber, Katelyn Donnelly, Saad Rizvi, March 2013)” argued whether a university will continue to be seen as good value, given the remorseless rise in the cost of a university education over recent decades. Students with the growing anxiety around the world are concerned about youth unemployment. Competition between universities around the world has been intensifying for decades, and now they fight for talents and research funding. There is no such thing as standardised degrees or modes of delivery. Several university models have been developed to realise true value of education, distinctiveness and relevance to the market. This session provides a different strategy that has been taken by five UK universities to meet the needs of the students, market and technology. It also suggests critical roles of leadership, integrity of university and its relationship with students and the region of operation.
