Description
Summary:The purpose of this review is to investigate cross-cutting research themes and issues related to access and stratification in Nordic higher education (H.E.)

We synthesise how recent changes in H.E. policy, practise, and appropriations have influenced educational opportunities along social class, gender and age. In this review we highlight results and conclusions shared by various recent Nordic studies. The emphasis is on the common trends and patterns related to social stratification in access.
