Corporate Support for Higher Education
Michael White and Christine HortonThis survey of the 'Top 200' companies shows how the major companies are discharging their role as supporters of higher education. The report reveals the substantial part played by the companies in providing financial support for students, which proves to be on a par with their spending on academic research and development. It also shows how manufacturing industry continues to be the chief support for higher education, even while the service sector takes an increasingly large proportion of new graduates. Other topics covered in the study include:
- the forms of student support provided and their cost
- the subjects for which sponsorships are given
- contract and general support for research and development
- the support provided for academic staffing
- the involvement of corporate specialists in academic management
- company donations in cash and kind
