Abstract

This little book gives an overview of my module on Policy and Change Processes in Higher Education, part of an entirely online PhD programme. Its aim is to give readers some feel for the content but especially the kinds of processes we engage in during that module. The module runs for 28 weeks, of which 15 are actively taught and the remaining 13 are devoted to research and writing the large assignment (which is, effectively, a journal article – participants often do subsequently publish their papers in academic journals). The detail of the module content and activities will change from year to year and from module to module, and of course tutors may change. Readers should though get a feel of what it is like to study for this PhD.
