Background study: The higher education and research system in England - a country profile for AWTI

On behalf of the AWTI, Technopolis mapped out how the higher education and research system functions in England, as part of the United Kingdom. How are higher education and research organised, what are their achievements and how is the system managed? The background study also describes the different types of institutions that provide higher education and conduct research. The study further examines the financing, management and accessibility of the system. Furthermore, the study discusses the link between the labor market and higher education in England.
