Universities Are Starting to Look Very Different

In 2021, UK universities were forced to reflect. Global uprisings, a shift to online learning and a pandemic forced academics to change their behaviour. In-person, international conferences – often out of reach for people with caring responsibilities or limited funding – were no more. Packing students into poorly ventilated lecture theatres was out of the question.

Teaching will become more engaging, ensuring students from historically marginalised groups excel in higher education. Learning will be multimodal, allowing students to access content wherever they are, whenever they want, to pause, rewind and use precious face-to-face time for small group work. With public awareness on the importance of physical and mental health at an all-time high, student and staff mental health will finally be taken seriously. In 2021, Chinese universities made courses on mental health mandatory for all undergraduate students. The online version of Yale’s most popular course, Psychology and the Good Life, has had more than three million enrolments since March 2020.
