Westminster Higher Education Forum event: The Future for Post-graduate education

 

As Government implements the recommendations of Sir Adrian Smith’s March 2010 review, this timely seminar focuses on the future of post-graduate education in the UK, at both Master’s and doctoral levels. At this early stage we expect sessions to consider current funding arrangements for students and how fair access to post-graduate education can be assured, particularly in light of the higher undergraduate fees from 2012-13. The impact of constrained public spending on the number of places universities are able to provide and how universities can encourage more private investment to fund post-graduate education will also be a focus of discussion.
