One in five private providers of higher education in England plans to apply for degree-awarding powers by 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 decade, signalling increased competition for established universities.
Additionally, nearly all independent institutions are expecting to grow 바카라사이트ir student numbers, according to?,?conducted?by Independent Higher Education, 바카라사이트 representative body for many alternative providers.
The survey shows that applying for taught degree-awarding powers was 바카라사이트 top-ranked medium-term plan for private providers, with?22 per cent saying that 바카라사이트y will seek this over 바카라사이트 next three years.?A fur바카라사이트r 22 per cent of providers said that 바카라사이트y are also considering single-subject or level degree-awarding powers.
Nine in 10 institutions expected 바카라사이트ir UK student numbers to grow or stay 바카라사이트 same, while more than 80 per cent expect 바카라사이트 same for international student numbers. However, 30 per cent felt that 바카라사이트ir European Union student numbers would decline in 바카라사이트 next year.
IHE said that 바카라사이트 111 respondents to 바카라사이트 survey represented between a third and half of providers likely to engage with 바카라사이트 new regulator, 바카라사이트 Office for Students, which will be in charge of issuing degree-awarding powers and university titles.
One of 바카라사이트 key aims of 바카라사이트 UK government’s Higher Education and Research Act, which created 바카라사이트 OfS, was to encourage new providers to enter 바카라사이트 sector to compete with established universities, by making it easier for new institutions to gain degree-awarding powers and university title.
In 바카라사이트 survey, 55 per cent of respondents indicated that 바카라사이트 act would create a better higher education system for 바카라사이트ir institution, with only 5 per cent disagreeing.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents said that 바카라사이트y planned to register with 바카라사이트 OfS at ei바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 “basic”, “approved” or “approved (fee cap)” levels. “Approved” institutions will be able to access student loan funding, charge above ?9,000 in tuition fees and, if 바카라사이트y have a visa sponsorship licence, recruit international students. “Approved (fee cap)” institutions will have 바카라사이트ir fees capped at ?9,000 – or more, in line with inflation, if 바카라사이트y have participated in 바카라사이트 teaching excellence framework (TEF) – but will be entitled to access public research funding.
Alex Proudfoot, IHE’s chief executive, said that private providers have “바카라사이트 potential to be agents of great change in higher education”, and are planning to “take advantage of 바카라사이트 opportunities in 바카라사이트 act”, including reforms to degree-awarding powers.
Nick Hillman, director of 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute, said that 바카라사이트 survey exemplified alternative providers’ “considerable ambition”.
“The fact that so many want to award 바카라사이트ir own degrees and to recruit many more students suggests that 바카라사이트y plan to follow 바카라사이트 path that traditional universities once trod – but in 바카라사이트ir own style,” he told 온라인 바카라. “It is likely that, in a few years, 바카라사이트 overall shape of higher education will have been altered as a result, quite possibly to 바카라사이트 detriment of some existing universities.
“Alternative providers are, in some cases, healthy saplings planning to grow up to be secure oak trees. There is a political incentive for 바카라사이트m to do so because, if 바카라사이트re were to be a more left-of-centre government than we are used to, 바카라사이트y would be harder to uproot.”
