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 look closely at university rankings and league tables. What are they? What do people in the sector think about them? And are they of any help to you?

We also look at an amazing website that can help you work out how to make a real difference in your career.

And the penny drops on an unbelievably simple, but massively important idea about choosing a career and a course.
