Policies and Practices in Higher and Professional Education

Abstract

This Special Issue of Reflecting Education presents a selection of papers based on the dissertation work from students on the MA in Higher and Professional Education at the Institute of Education, University of London. It represents a great opportunity for students to disseminate the results of their research to a wider audience.

The programme welcomes students from a wide-range of backgrounds and work contexts (academics, managers, administrators and academic-related staff; professionals in areas such as medicine, law and the arts; professional development and accreditation consultants; widening participation and access officers; and policy-makers) who seek to develop critical insights into higher education policies and practices in the UK and overseas. The programme offers them an opportunity to explore, share and challenge existing knowledge and personal and professional experience by engaging with different ideas, concepts and values.
