Programme description	The programme is focused on the changing functions, policies, and operations of higher education in a comparative perspective. The programme introduces many general disciplinary concepts, theories, and perspectives, and discusses their relevance for understanding change processes in higher education at various levels, i.e. the basic unit (department, institute, faculty), the institutional level, the national as well as the supra-national level. Various disciplinary perspectives are referred to for discussing and analysing change processes in higher education originating both inside and outside the traditional institutional and national frames. These perspectives are highly relevant not only for researchers, but also for practitioners, i.e. managers, policy-makers, and leaders at all relevant levels.
