Future sustainability of Higher Education

Issues examined include:

• The importance of collaboration and partnership working with international institutions, particularly in China
• The provision of high quality post-graduate education
• The benefits of UK students having the opportunity to travel abroad
• The division between full-time and part-time students and the need for reform of part-time student funding.

The House of Commons Education and Skills Committee undertook two overseas visits as part of the inquiry:

• Australia (Sydney and Canberra) - as one of the main alternative destinations to the UK for students from overseas
• China (Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing) - as one of the main exporters of students to other HE systems and as a country which is rapidly developing its own HE sector.
