The Marketisation of Higher Education and the Student as Consumer

In recent years government policy in the UK has encouraged an expansion of Higher Education to increase participation with the express aim of creating a more educated workforce, capable of competing in international 'knowledge-based' economies. This expansion has led to competition between Higher Education Institutions, where students are increasingly positioned as consumers and institutions are working to improve the extent to which they meet 'consumer demands'. A business mind-set is now in charge in UK Higher Education, forcing institutions to reassess the way they are managed and promoted.
