  Provisional Programme >    Book this seminar >

Mike Thorne, Vice Chancellor, Anglia Ruskin University

In the next year higher education in the UK is to face the most dramatic changes in a generation. By July policies of the new Government will become clear:

• Funding cuts
• Research concentration
• Increase in student fees
• More global competition
• Possible closure of some universities

We are scheduling this seminar to give an opportunity for a small group of university leaders to review, under the Chatham House rule, the impact of some of the main challenges and opportunities likely to confront higher education in the next few years and to consider new priorities for their institution. This seminar is open to senior academic, administrative staff and members of governing bodies.

Participants will be invited to share topics and problems of interest to their institution. The precise agenda will allow free flow of discussion of these informed by the views and insights of an experienced Vice Chancellor.
