conference overview
Technology, an uncertain and contentious funding environment and globalisation are among the biggest drivers of change within the higher education market.
Online degrees and MOOCs are flourishing, now attracting a global audience. At the same time, research grants are becoming more competitive, and unemployment for recent graduates is climbing to well over 30 per cent at a time when degrees are expected to become increasingly expensive. Meanwhile, the worldwide competition for fullpaying students is also on the rise.
Tertiary education is not immune to disruption. At Campus Review’ s 2015 conference, find out how you can become futureproof now. Expect to gain insights into:
� The key trends that will impact on the sector in the next decade, and opportunities these trends will present.
� How the numbers will look. Find out where HECS debt will be, how research and grants will be affected, and whether we’ re heading towards a financial tipping point.
� The major considerations for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the future and how to attract and retain them.
� How private education will move fast to take advantage of sector changes.
