== Abstract ==<br />
<br />
The Preface by Sir Howard Newby, CEO of HEFCE at the time, reads:<br />
<br />
The new world of global higher education is fast moving and complex. Barely a day<br />
passes without an announcement that a major company in the media or<br />
entertainment business has tied up a new deal to market and sell educational<br />
products across the world.<br />
<br />
I am delighted that CVCP [now [[UUK]]] took the lead nearly a year ago in commissioning, jointly<br />
with the HEFCE, a report that would map these changes and suggest how they<br />
might impact on UK universities. The aim of the study was to alert CVCP members<br />
to the potential risks and rewards of the new ‘borderless’ environment that they all<br />
face. The report, which is the most substantial work of its kind, provides valuable<br />
practical guidance about how higher education institutions might respond to these<br />
challenges and opportunities. There are also clear indications about how the CVCP<br />
itself might continue to support its members in this area. A major example is the<br />
need for a continuing source of market intelligence that will help to inform<br />
universities’ planning decisions. Such a service would be best organised on an<br />
international basis and CVCP will be initiating early discussions with its Australian<br />
partners in this project about the possibilities of future collaboration in monitoring<br />
developments in the global marketplace.<br />
<br />
Borderless education has potentially much deeper long-term implications for the<br />
future shape and structure of British higher education. For example, more intense<br />
competition raises issues about the number and size of UK universities and the extent<br />
to which greater collaboration could help us face the global challenge. The CVCP will<br />
be taking the lead in debating these wider issues over the next few months.<br />
