  4. The Higher Education Landscape What do we mean? This session is about taking a step back from your role as a Course Rep, back from the University of Bristol and taking a look at the bigger picture of Higher Education across the UK. It’s a Higher Education Landscape because it is affected by the things around it, and is constantly changing and evolving. Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  7. The Higher Education Landscape Why is this? The reality is that due to the amount of different stakeholders at national and international level, the politics this brings and other factors such as the economic and social climate means that so much influences Higher Education…it’s hard to keep up!

  12. What is influencing the HE Landscape right now? • The 2008 Recession: • Led to a change in UK Governments ideals of who should be paying for the debt. • Changed from the UK Government to you as students. • England HE Institutions have no more money due to the increased fees. • However expectations from new students has increased. • Who is attracted to Universities has changed. Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  13. What is influencing the HE Landscape right now? • The Fees and increased expectations has led to: • An increase in HE Institutions wanting to understand students as customers and a ‘market’ they must tap into • Students becoming picker with which institutions they choose, HE institutions have had to get better at marketing their services and WHY you should choose them. Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  14. What is influencing the HE Landscape right now? • The perceived marketisation of HE institutions has led to: • Increased pressure on academics • NUS lobbying for partnership ideals • An increase in the number of private HE Institutions- which are not governed or quality assured • HE Institutions partnering up with other institutions to offer even more for students e.g GW4 Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  15. What is influencing the HE Landscape right now? • MOOCS and Globalisation: • Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS) for short are small one unit courses that you do can do online FOR FREE! • How does this alter the HE Landscape? • Adult learners and a change in the demographic of who is learning • Showing the capabilities of online courses and the power of globalisation Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  16. What is influencing the HE Landscape right now? • Do you know which HE Institution has significantly increased it’s numbers? • The globalisation of the world means that the HE landscape is changing • Erasmus and study abroad • The popularity of studying in a different country for your entire degree (and the cheaper cost) • Online courses that are avaliable Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  17. And finally and most recently… The lift on student numbers- Universities normally have a ‘core’ number of students which they are allowed to admit which has been agreed previously and if they go above this they are fined. In 2015 Universities can admit as many students as they would like. Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk

  18. What does this mean for you? Having a knowledge base of this is really useful in your role as a Course Rep. Keeping up with national trends and knowing what’s going on puts you in a stronger position in your role. Twitter: @UBUbristol | www.ubu.org.uk
