Opinion Piece: What is the Idea of a University in 2025?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The QS World University Rankings 2025 have announced Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Imperial College London in first and second place respectively. Both universities prioritise the practical arts: MIT's motto is 'Mind and Hand', while Imperial's mission is 'To be useful'. While such rankings are not without controversy, it is clear that universities today prioritise the preparation of students for their future careers, with a strong emphasis on job training and practical skills.
