News Headlines, Articles & Reports

The Observatory provides subscribers with unlimited access to the following research resources:

• News Headlines

The Observatory tracks a wide range of media and news sources to keep subscribers up-to-date with the latest developments in borderless higher education from across the world. The Observatory's Breaking News Headlines provide subscribers with summaries of, and links to, a wider range of news as it emerges.

• Articles

The Observatory's research Articles provide in-depth analysis of key developments and issues in transnational higher education, distance programmes and public-private partnerships, linking developments across countries and institutions.

• Reports

Our research agenda focuses on topics that have current and future relevance to transnational higher education, and our reports provide in-depth analysis of the latest developments, trends and challenges in borderless higher education. By synthesising the latest international developments, the research reports assess their wider implications for higher education leaders and policy makers.

The Observatory publishes original in-house research reports on themes that challenge the 'traditional' boundaries of higher education, and particularly those expected to impact the core business of universities and colleges.

The Observatory also commissions internationally renowned authors to prepare substantive reports on key issues in borderless higher education with specific national, regional and/or international perspectives. The issues are both timely and provocative, challenging institutional leaders in their thinking and understanding of topics critical to strategic planning. Authors draw on their experience and expertise to provide insight into a wide diversity of international experience.

The Observatory's full archive of News Headlines, Articles and Reports is available on an unlimited basis to subscribers only.

Non-subscribers may purchase an individual report at a cost of £350, or a series of two or three reports for £600, and £750, respectively (excluding VAT). Reports can be purchased through a publications search, where publication details are on view and electronic or hardcopy versions purchase options available.

Articles are also available at a cost of £40 per article. Please note, however, that an institutional subscription provides more value for money.
