Higher Education Futures Forum
11 May 2011
Timed to allow maximum analysis of the spring Higher Education White Paper, this event provided an integrated and comprehensive insight into how the leading higher education institutions are addressing the challenges, the consequences for public policy, and the future shape and sustainability of UK HE. Please note that we have had technical problems with the video file for Masterclass 3 but hope to add it to the site soon.
