Steur, J. M.; Jansen, E. P. W. A.; Hofman, W. H. A. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2012
The formative merits of university education are at risk of being reduced from graduateness in the sense of broad academic cultivation to professional training with a strong emphasis on employability.
