Podcast: Students at work, transfers, spending review

This week on our final proper show before the break, we’ve published polling on students experience of earning while learning - is a return to “full time” study possible?

Plus OfS has a new strategy, the OIA has some learning from complaints, and we look ahead to the 2025 spending review.

With Shahid Omer, Director of Policy at Universities UK, Diana Beech, Chief Executive Officer at London Higher, David Kernohan, Deputy Editor at Wonkhe, Mike Ratcliffe, Academic Registrar at City St George’s University of London, and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe. And keep an ear out over the break for a special edition of the show.
