Event details

In association jointly with the Higher Education Research Group and the Lifelong and Work-related Research Centre.

The possibility of transferability of graduate-level skills in a globalised and post-industrial environment is one reason why governments have been willing to fund mass higher education. However, the literature suggests that such transfer is likely to be problematic. Through a study of undergraduate criticality, this seminar reports on an analysis of how students transferred criticality at different points in their degree programmes and how such transfer might be enhanced.
