Managing Commonwealth supported places: The job-ready graduates era and afterwards
Sep
30
1:00pm - 2:00pm
Seminar or Forum
Job-ready Graduates gave universities new flexibility over how they used Commonwealth supported places. Separate allocations for sub-bachelor, bachelor and postgraduate places were merged into a single flexible fund. Drawing on interview research with university leaders and officials and empirical analysis of enrolment trends, this presentation will explore university responses to this new flexibility. The impact of Job-ready Graduates funding rates will also be examined. The seminar will conclude with discussion of how the new ATEC-driven funding system might affect university strategies.
This seminar is available in person and online.
