Universities must make planned, strategic responses now to secure their future reputation and market position. Leading universities are now enhance satisfaction by engaging students as active partners and students unions are increasingly involved in shaping learning and teaching experiences. They are also clearly defining their “offer” to students and employers to improve recruitment and graduate employability.
