How can we measure the quality of an undergraduate degree? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAshwin challenges a series of myths related to the purposes, educational processes, and quality of an undergraduate 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Ashwin\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Higher Education at Lancaster University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52513885225267,"sku":"9781350157231","price":78.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/FSz0RvD19W9781350157231.webp?v=1760378024","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/transforming-university-education-a-manifesto-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
