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.
Crazy competitive courses, UCAS Extra, and thinking like a Roman Emperor.
This week we look at why some universities are so ridiculously hard to get into. Spoiler; it’s not about how hard the course is.
We remind ourselves that UCAS Extra opens very soon!
And we are introduced to some stoic thinking by a Roman Emperor.
UCAS Extra and Clearing, Student Finance, and the truth about prestige.
This week we take a look at UCAS Extra and Clearing, both of which could be really important options for you if things don’t go quite as you expect.
We also take a first look at university funding for UK students.
And we hear about prestige and how it can warp your beliefs.
