Higher education in Scotland and the UK: diverging or converging systems?

Are we witnessing the demise of a common UK higher education system and the emergence of a new system in Scotland, post-referendum?

Considering the context of further devolution, the claims of differing social values, and social policy drift within the UK, this study of higher education policy across Scotland and the rest of the UK examines key themes such as institutional governance, approaches to tuition fees and student support, cross-border student flows, widening access, internationalisation and research policy.
