Wonkhe readers will be familiar with a strand of public debate on higher education which neglects both the diversity of the sector and how rapid changes in technology and a deeper understanding of the way students want to learn shapes the ways universities teach.
In some cases, those debates are based on perceptions of a university education that are years out of date. So, the Russell Group has published a new report – Education and Skills for Growth – that we hope will set a new starting point for those debates.
Informed by in-depth interviews with colleagues working in teaching, admissions, innovation and R&D across our universities, our report provides a snapshot of some of the things our universities do well and how this benefits students.
It takes a closer look at how Russell Group universities operate to support students and build a secure skills pipeline for the UK. It highlights some of the innovative practices going on across our campuses and the industry partnerships that are informing the development of our courses.
