Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project started from a comparative study of variance in the ‘marketisation’ of national higher education systems. It noted first the variety in public/private funding and provision models, and then focused on the varied degree of operational and strategic freedom colleges and universities have. The need to downscale some higher education systems, such as in Japan, and, by contrast, the growth of some systems as international education exporters, and recent controversy, are explored. The campus as catalyst, branding, policy tool is also analysed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

This research may contribute to policy and strategy for higher education institutions as they face challenges from demographic change, digital transformation, and the vulnerability revealed by the recent pandemic.
