Higher Education Management and Policy
Higher Education Management and Policy
Research in higher education management and policy aims to provide higher education leaders, policy makers, academics and the scholarly community with improved understanding of higher education policy and management issues, in order to enhance the quality and relevance of higher education services provided to students and the wider community.
Since the 1970s, the University of New England has developed a strong reputation for research on higher education, concentrating particularly on policy and management issues from an international and multi-disciplinary perspective. Research effort has concentrated particularly on the analysis of the objectives and detailed specification of particular government and institutional policies; consideration of alternative policy options and their social and economic costs; evaluation of the effects, impact and consequences of the application of particular policies; assessment of the way that policies are developed, specified and evaluated; and exploration of appropriate management structures and practices to support higher education objectives. Research projects have also included aspects of skill formation and training; links between higher education, schools and vocational education and training; and aspects of science policy relevant to higher education.
International Networks and Activities
At the international level, key linkages are well established with various leading centres and programs. These linkages will continue to be maintained by attracting international scholars, conducting comparative international research projects, attending and presenting papers at key overseas conferences, and leading workshops, seminars and international study tours for higher education managers.
