One step beyond: making the most of postgraduate education. (PDF) (link opens in a new window)
Report on an independent review of postgraduate educational provision in the UK. It found that postgraduate education in the UK is a great asset, but that there is scope to build on this success. Making postgraduate provision more responsive to employer needs and encouraging more people to train to postgraduate level will ensure that the UK has the higher level skills needed to succeed in a global knowledge economy. This will be critical to securing the location of
high-value business in the UK and to the creation of new employment opportunities in growth sectors.
