Obstacles to social mobility in Britain date back to the Victorian education system

By Jonathan Godshaw Memel. Despite the growing number of young people attending university, comparatively few disadvantaged students are accepted into Britain’s most prestigious institutions.

The summer when working in a British university lost its global appeal

By Timothy Devinney. The last few months have clearly been trying on the nerves and confidence of many academics working in Britain. The vote for Brexit has reverberated through the ivory towers and off the red-brick walls of British universities.

Will a pre-Brexit building boom now bust Britain’s universities?

By Kerry Barker. At every glass, steel or thatch-clad turn of a British university campus, the building boom becomes apparent. The recent removal of controls on the number of students each university in England can admit has resulted in a mad scramble for students from both home and abroad as universities struggle to maintain their market share.
