Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book.
The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany.Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual.
