This book explores the way in which the twin pressures of globalisation and localisation play out in higher education across the developed world, often reflected in more specific debates on fees regimes, access and culture.

This collection of essays illuminates the benefits, drawbacks, challenges and opportunities of the push to widen access to success and social mobility through university and other post-secondary education experiences in the UK and internationally.

This book brings together researchers and practitioners to critically reflect upon the current diversity of Access to Higher Education programmes and their different perspectives on widening participation and access education.

This book focuses on student cultural diversity in HE and assesses how cultural difference affects students' education and social experience. The authors use interviews to look at these issues from both the perspective of international students, and culturally diverse home populations.
