Protecting status through league tables, The Russell Group, and Art & Design shows.
I saw a post in Linkedin last week that, once again, challenged the way I think about Higher Education. In particular, it challenged the way I think about league tables.
So this week, instead of a lengthy piece, I’ve gathered just a few thoughts below in response to the post. Perhaps it will challenge your thinking too?
We also revisit my thoughts on the Russell Group. It seemed timely.
And we learn about Art & Design degree shows - a fantastic opportunity to be inspired, and to see first hand what studying art and design really involves.

This week we ask the question: is “find your passion” really a good way to choose a course? Or is there a better way?
Secondly, we have a look at the amazing inspiration that can be found at art and design degree shows up and down the country during June.
And finally, we learn that you really don’t need to have it all figured out after all.
