Sam Gyimah, former minister for universities in Theresa May's government, asks if Britain's universities can survive the crisis they now face.
Many are calling the immense challenge that Britain's universities now face an existential crisis. With access to leaders of universities from the most traditional to the most modern, Sam Gyimah explores whether the business and education models for Brtain's higher education sector are fit for purpose. The Covid pandemic is significant but when that crisis comes together with the major issues that Britain's universities already face over their funding, it's clear that the coming academic year will be like no other in living memory.
Universities in Crisis examines the changes now challenging students, teachers, researchers and all those connected to higher education.
