The new technological universities

Abstract

It is extraordinary how little fuss there has been about Britain's new technological universities. How quickly one has become used to seeing advertisements in the press for professors and lecturers at Aston, Brunei and Loughborough, to name some of the first of the eight to get the Royal Charter, and at Chelsea, now a constituent college of the University of London, and the Welsh College of Advanced Technology, soon to become part of the University of Wales. It is a little disappointing to find that of the eight new universities, only two, Bath and Loughborough, have included the word ‘technology’ in their title, although it is not hard to see why the majority preferred a more conventional image.
