Get on Facebook, Universities Told
Last updated: Wed 20th Feb 2008 at 15:39
The shadow universities secretary David Willets has suggested that universities should use Facebook to communicate more with students.
Willets explained to the Guardian’s Higher Education summit that potential students were using the internet more to find out about the universities that they are applying to.
Social networking sites such as Facebook were cited as one of many ways that potential students communicate with existing students, and others wishing to find out more about an institution.
Some universities have been wary of the information available on the web, believing that information available can at times be inaccurate and misleading.
