This report from UK think tank HEPI examines how higher education policy has diverged across the four nations of the United Kingdom—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The report ‘Evolution of Devolution’ examines how higher education policy has diverged across the four nations of the United Kingdom—England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland—since the devolution of powers in 1999. Edited by Rose Stephenson, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the Higher Education Policy Institute, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the unique trajectories each nation has taken in shaping its higher education landscape, influenced by varying political, historical, and socio-economic contexts.
