The development of Higher Education is taking place at a phenomenal pace, and this book is set to be a guide for ALL the different groups of people who need to understand the consequences of the changes in the years to come.With the expansion of Higher Education and changes following the Dearing Report, a very large number of parents have no experience of HE. Their children are about to enter university, employers are unaware of the changes, and new lecturers have a light grasp of the history and ideals of university education. This book is set to appeal to the needs of these groups, and will be of special interest to every (school) careers officer.Chapters consider both the historical development of the system of Higher Education as well as the scope and nature of its institutional manifestation as we recognize it today. Far from being another Which-style guide for intending applicants, it is written in a straightforward style by the three authors, each known internationally as Higher Education specialists.
