Wonkhe Mondays
Wonkhe Mondays is delivered to tens of thousands of people from across UK higher education every Monday morning before work. It sets the agenda for the week – everything you need to know about what’s going on in UK HE policy in the week ahead plus key developments from the past seven days analysed.
As well the latest analysis, the Briefing features a round-up of news and articles from Wonkhe that you may have missed and gives a full listing of events, reports, deadlines, and parliamentary activity (including devolved parliaments) that are expected in the coming week.
