Higher education is going through a period of rapid internationalisation and marketisation. But where are the voices of our students and colleagues in relation to these changes? This event aims to provide a platform for a variety of voices and opinions to be expressed and debated. We are highlighting how universities respond to these changes from a variety of contexts and positions. We are also aiming to combine research findings to the more practical application of how the market and international process shape Masters’ level delivery.

This seminar will cover tensions between marketisation and the postgraduate student experience, and the consequences and impact on the undergraduate student experience and the bridging between undergraduate and postgraduate education. Throughout the day we hope to touch on consequences for the sector, national and institutional policies, disciplinary differences and the impact on the learning experience of all students.
