Higher Education 2024/25

Engage and Collaborate: the new language of higher education

Introduction

Welcome to the 2024/25 Higher Education edition of CANVAS, the insights update from Saxton Bampfylde and its global community. For this edition, we have invited two newly-appointed vice-chancellors at differing – and distinctive – institutions, as they begin their leadership at a critical juncture hugely for higher education.
