"Higher education funding sources, including government grants and international student fees, are shrinking in the UK. Rising tuition fees go hand in hand with increasing student demands and the as yet unforeseen impacts of higher education moving towards functioning as a market economy. At the same time, companies are demanding graduates with different skills in order to compete effectively on the global stage. To be successful in this new environment, higher education institutions will have to radically transform the way they do business. This publication highlights key issues facing higher education, which our research shows transcend national borders. Our aim is to work together as a global education practice to help create shared solutions and bring new insights to our clients."
