Abstract: Abstract In the United Kingdom higher education is characterised by a twofold structure. On the one hand, there are universities which have their own autonomous governing bodies, are empowered by royal charters to award their own degrees, and receive funding principally via the University Grants Committee (UGC) and the various research councils. On the other hand, there are polytechnics and colleges of higher education. These institutions (because of their mode of evolution) are not entitled to award their own degrees; those who successfully graduate receive CNAA awards. Approximately 10 per cent of their funding is generated at local authority level, the remaining 90 per cent emanates from central government (see Figure 5.1). Universities, polytechnics and colleges of higher education have all experienced similar pressures in terms of performance assessment; this chapter will thus largely be confined to a discussion of developments within just one segment: the universities.
