Purpose The purpose of this paper is to widen the discussion about the ongoing paradigm shift in global higher education. Design/methodology/approach The paper discusses and gives examples on several major changes and potential future developments within higher education. Findings Several major changes have taken place within higher education in a short time. Financial restraints leading to shorter accountability periods, mass education and research, as well as increased competition through e-enhanced globalization, have changed the field of higher education profoundly. It simultaneously faces requirements to produce a higher level of competence, shorten the implementation periods and to offer this to an increasing number of participants with fewer resources. Thus, it should be considered if the mission of higher education institutions has changed and what that mission should be. Research limitations/implications The paper is written from a culturally limited point of view (Finland/Nordic countries/Europe) and does not rely on empirical research findings. Social implications The potential paradigm shift has major social implications globally. It may change the way we understand and operate higher education during the next few decades. Originality/value A lot of the presented ideas have been discussed before in other articles. However, the potential implications as a whole have not yet been adequately discussed in scientific processes
