Managing Third Stream Activities in Higher Education

Course Code: MMAHEM_10

Masters Level Module

This two-and-half day residential module examines critically the institutional management issues involved in what are often called 'third stream' activities, covering higher education institutions' roles in economic regeneration, regional engagement, relations with industry, intellectual property, knowledge production and transfer, and related matters. Third stream activities raise significant strategic and financial issues for institutions in their relations to mainstream teaching and research and how they are integrated into overall institutional strategies; how they are managed and on what financial basis; what risks they entail; and how they are reconciled with other concepts of higher education institutions' roles in society. These issues will be explored in the module.
