Jo Johnson is right that higher education is one of the UK's most globally competitive industries. International students contribute to a diverse student body and a thriving society, culture and economy – on campus, in local regions and across the whole UK standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

As we enter a new Carolean era, I highly recommend Robert Harris . Harris at his best in this magisterial novel that vividly brings to life a period of history with many lessons for our own times.

As someone who comes originally from the United States, I am no monarchist. But Queen Elizabeth II, to me, was a role model for integrity, public service and authenticity. We should all celebrate her enormous contribution to the UK, leading us through extraordinary times.

Energetic, delicate and dramatic performance of Beethoven’s 9th by Chineke! Foundation orchestra BBC Proms. Special call out to the amazing timpanist; they never get enough credit!

If you are feeling a bit glum about the state of the world, I hope you watched the Lionesses tonight, as they were truly inspiring.

This is very sad news. Professor Yang Fujia was Chancellor of Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN for 12 years from 2001 and a significant figure in the life of the University as well as being instrumental in the establishment of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China.
