Mampaey, Jelle – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
In the higher education literature, there seems to be a growing consensus that contemporary higher education institutions (HEIs) are trapped in conformity.

Graf, Lukas; Powell, Justin J. W.; Fortwengel, Johann; Bernhard, Nadine – Journal of Studies in International Education, 2017
Dual study programs are hybrid forms of work-based higher education that have expanded very rapidly in Germany--a country traditionally considered a key model in both higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET).
