PODCAST: China, graduate employment, wellbeing, attainment gaps

This week on the podcast we discuss a new report on the relationship between universities and China and ask if UK HE is too close to the superpower.

There’s also ONS data on graduate employment and student wellbeing, and fresh findings from Jisc on the digital student experience.

Mike Ratcliffe’s Hidden History travels to Bologna, and we take a quick look at new OfS Access and Participation data that suggests changes to assessment methods and policies at the end of last year had a significant impact on attainment gaps.

With Selena Bolingbroke, consulting fellow for the Halpin Partnership, Amatey Doku, consultant with the Nous Group, and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.
