Centre for the Study of Higher Education

We undertake conceptual, empirical and policy research in the field of higher education, nationally and internationally. Higher education is defined broadly to encompass all the main settings of tertiary education, including colleges, universities, the workplace and the virtual world.

Our work is addressed to intellectual, professional and public debates about:

• system change and policy reform
• access, participation and social equity
• internationalisation and student mobility
• transitions, progression and student identities
• pedagogy and academic practice
• assessment, qualifications and the vocational curriculum
• research education and training
