Â鶹Éç Radio 3Ìýand the University of Sunderland bring together an outspoken panel to tackle one of the most pressing issues for future generations -Ìýwith contributions from all sides of university life.
Join the audience at the National Glass Centre for a debate recorded for broadcast ahead of Â鶹Éç Radio 3’s at The Sage Gateshead in November
Cash-strapped and oversubscribed,Ìýthe pressure on universities and students seems unprecedented. Should universities should be applying ruthless business models, bringing inÌýevermore lucrative foreign students and forming closer bonds with industry and business?
Must students accept that universities are not the old kind of seats of learning and that they should be paying customers as much as scholars? Or does this idea impoverish our society and culture?
Tickets free – to be in the audience call Â鶹Éç Tickets 0370 901 1227 or book online at
This event will be recorded for broadcast in on Thursday 28 October at 9.15pm
