What is a university degree for? What can it offer to students? Is
it only about getting a job? How can we measure the quality of an
undergraduate degree? Paul Ashwin shows how, around the world,
economic arguments have come to dominate our thinking about the
purpose and nature of university education. He argues that we have
lost a sense of the educational purposes of an undergraduate degree
and the ways in which going to university can transform students'
lives. Ashwin challenges a series of myths related to the purposes,
educational processes, and quality of an undergraduate education.
He argues that these myths have fuelled the current
misunderstanding of the educational aspects of higher education and
explores what is needed to reinvigorate our understanding of a
university education. Throughout, Ashwin draws on his deep
engagement with international research to offer an accessible and
thought-provoking analysis of the nature of university education.
