Purpose – to chart the rise of the corporate university through turbulent times, looking at the external factors that have contributed to its development, and the internal benefits that have fuelled its success. Design/methodology/approach – draws on a number of case studies. Findings – focuses on the extrapolation of the current situation into the future, highlighting that corporate universities could pose an even greater threat to traditional public universities in the future as they may be better placed to provide a meaningful undergraduate experience to school-leavers than is currently provided in the education sector. Originality/value – suggests a future for undergraduate education that has not yet been widely contemplated or even considered by parties in the education sector, and therefore opens the arena for debate by raising awareness of the issues that are driving such a future outcome forward.ISSN: 0309-0590Reference: 34AF408
