The full institutional implications and possibilities of changes to Higher Education funding are emerging. This conference brought together institutional leaders to evaluate and discuss the possible futures for higher education in the United Kingdom.

Looking to 2015 and beyond you will hear new thinking about where next for the sector, and consider how institutions can position themselves effectively to be in a strong position heading into the future.

Globalisation and new technologies have disrupted retail; torn apart the publishing models of the last century; completely changed newspapers and the media; seen completely new entrants move to dominance: why should Higher Education be any different?

This conference examined the sustainability of the present finance arrangements, the current core and margin model for student distribution, postgraduate provision as well hearing new perspectives and challenges for the future of UK higher education.
