The growth of private and for profit HE providers in the UK: Competition or collaboration?
The private higher education sector is emerging as a growing force in many parts of the world and presents a range of potential opportunities and challenges. A conference,organised by Universities UK and GuildHE, will examine the key issues around private provision such as quality assurance, regulation and funding, and will be an opportunity for consideration of collaboration and partnership. Carolyn Campbell, QAA's Head of International Affairs, is speaking at the conference.
