Dearing goes abroad
Article Abstract:
Higher education in the UK has been taking on an increasingly international dimension since the late 1980s. Many higher education establishments are attracting large numbers of overseas students. These institutions have come to regard overseas students as a valuable source of income, but also recognize that British students can benefit from mixing with overseas students. However, the economic crisis in the Far East has made it clear that UK higher education establishments will have to take a new approach to attracting overseas students. In particular, attention will focus on postgraduates and on cooperation with institutions abroad.

Allies reduced in ranks
Article Abstract:
There are many differences between American and British universities, even though the UK and the US are similar in many areas. Educational practices in communication, for instance, are different because many American students would talk to their tutors all day rather than write an essay but English students are often terrified by verbal communication. American professors give longer presentations than British dons, who prefer witty and brief speeches. Americans are also very conscious of the ranking of their universities.
