Abstract

English higher education was, in the 1980s, the first in Europe to start moving from a public service to the market. The "Higher Education and Research Act" adopted in June 2017 seems to finalise the process. This paper looks back to the specificities of the English university model and examines the nearly 40 years of reforms which have deconstructed its main features as a public service. It anal-yses how the new law, by setting up a new regulatory body (the Office for Stu-dents), may amplify the already strong contradictions and conflicts of interest within the sector. Finally it questions the viability of the model.
