👩🎓Great to hear @bphillipsonMP describe UK universities as "engines of growth, excellence & opportunity" during the King's Speech debate.

Further evidence that our tutoring programme which pairs university students with pupils helps to boost the children's literacy skills, with some undergraduate tutors going on to do teacher training. We call it the 'win win win' model. news.exeter.ac.uk/uncategori…

So, Conservatives pledge to increase apprenticeships by 100k by cutting 1 in 8 degrees. I feel a little thread is in order.

Always fascinated with the “what is university for” question.
When rich kids are involved: “university is so much more than getting a job: it’s about enriching the soul/rounding you out as a human being”
When it’s a poor kid: “but will this really help them get a better job?”

There’s been a lot of talk about international student admissions lately.
We know the public are worried about how fair it is, and we’ve announced actions we’re taking to investigate.
But today's @TheTimes article still gets some important facts wrong 🧵

Happy winter solstice!
At this time of year, sunrise has moved as far west along the horizon as it ever gets - hovering around the same place for a few days, “standing still” - “sol stit”, before moving east again, as the days lengthen. So this is it - the shortest day. The light will return. And with it, I fervently hope, more hope, love and peace for humanity.

Just over a month to go for the @ucas_online equal consideration date. Our teacher/adviser guidance notes could be useful for those supporting student applications. @DiscoverUniExe
