Abstract
Higher education is now living in a TEF era and institutions from different categorisations (e.g. Russell Group, University Alliance, MillionPlus, Cathedrals Group) will have to provide an equal balance in the quality of research and in teaching and learning at their institutions. The first section of this chapter examines the new levels of scrutiny by central government. Moving on from this, the second section will present an overview of the strategies that have been put in to place to respond to the close scrutiny of the sector. The final section of the chapter will summarise the contributing chapters within this edited volume.
