Abstract

The chapter1 provides some initial thoughts regarding a new type of higher education system which resonates with the requirements of work, life and purpose in the 21st century. In terms of work, its basic premise is that new forms of employment in the 21st century require concomitant new forms of education. The chapter specifically explores higher education via the notion of a “University for the Future” (U4F).
U4F would integrate existing leading-edge theories and practices with new ideas to expand the horizons of higher education. The ambition would be not to build a great university of the world, but rather a great university for the world. Likewise, it would not be a university of the future so much as a university for the future.
