RDATE:06032003
Plans to enable high quality specialist Higher Education Institutions in England to become universities were announced today by Margaret Hodge the Minister of State for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education.
Currently, institutions need to teach in a wide range of subjects to be eligible for the university title. Today's announcement will mean that, subject to consultation, there will no longer be any barriers to high quality institutions that specialise in one or two subjects becoming a University.
