Abstract

Critical reflections on the expansion of higher education in China in the last two decades are examined. Specifically, the processes of massification and marketisation, pressure arising from the quest to attain world-class university status and the growing diversity of education provision with the transnationalisation and internationalisation of higher education are investigated. This chapter is set against the wide context of higher education transformation in China to critically review how the quest for world-class university status has affected higher education development, with particular reference to university governance, teaching and student learning as well as the academic profession.
