    What does a successful higher education merger look like?

    Merging with another university isn't easy. But some universities have taken this path recently to help make sure they would be fit for the future. In the last year, universities have been facing difficult financial circumstances. This has meant looking at new solutions and ways of working together, from smaller partnerships and initiatives to more radical options. In this episode of The future of higher education today, our panel of experts share their reflections on what makes a successful merger, including overcoming unforeseen challenges, stakeholder management and lessons learnt. This is the beginning of a four-episode series in collaboration with Advance HE. It focuses on governing and leading change and transformation in the higher education sector.

    Students and drugs

    Universities often take a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to drug use or drug abuse. But there’s not much evidence to show that the fear or threat of being kicked out of uni works.  In this episode of The future of higher education today, we ask: if current drugs policies aren't working, what would?
