British Universities in the Brexit Moment: Political, Economic and Cultural Implications

This timely book provides an invaluable analysis of the impact the Brexit decision has had, and will have, on Britains universities. International by nature, British universities draw their students and staff from across the global community. Britain is a major beneficiary of EU-sponsored research funding through the Horizon 2020 scheme and partnerships as part of the European Research Area. Britains universities have world-leading reputations, with the UK sector second only to the United States in international prestige. Brexit has already affected this, with a drop in student recruitment from abroad and an increase in EU academics electing to leave the British university system. 
British Universities in the Brexit Moment offers the first book-length treatment of these issues. It situates the Brexit question in the context of prevailing developments in UK higher education such as marketization and provides an indispensable guide to the material impacts of Brexit on Britains universities.
