Higher Education Quarterly publishes articles concerned with policy, strategic management and ideas in higher education. A substantial part of its contents is concerned with reporting research findings in ways that bring out their relevance to senior managers and policy makers at institutional and national levels, and to academics who are not necessarily specialists in the academic study of higher education.

Higher Education Quarterly also publishes papers that are not based on empirical research but give thoughtful academic analyses of significant policy, management or academic issues.

Papers from countries other than the UK, especially those from other European countries, that highlight issues of international concern are particularly welcomed.

Endnote Section:
One article in each issue is published with the aim of stimulating debate and rejoinders from readers. The new Endnote section is reserved for this purpose.
