This book examines the relationship between collegiality and the collegial tradition in the context of the development of mass higher education, offering a fuller picture of present-day character of British (especially English) higher education.

Oxford, the Collegiate University addresses the possible shift in balance of authority at one of the world's greatest universities, and arrives at a positive conclusion. Oxford will continue to remain an effective collegiate university and, while its identity will change, its core values persist.

For centuries, the idea of collegiality has been integral to the British understanding of higher education. This book examines how its values are being restructured in response to the 21st-century pressures of massification and managerialism.
