The article examines the concepts of massification and globalisation of higher education and
contrasts them with some concepts from developmental psychology. The traditional task of
universities is to train autonomous, self-directed and critical citizens who think scientifically. In this
article I shall ask whether these tasks are possible in massified, marketised and globalised
universities. My main aim is to draw on empirical findings to open theoretical perspectives on the
topic.
