This article offers a theoretical exploration of the student's experience of higher education by reframing how we view this, from a focus on surface/strategic/deep approaches to learning to a focus on alienated or engaged experiences of learning. The article focuses on alienation and offers seven different perspectives on how we might understand this experience of higher education. Implications are then drawn for how, as teachers, we might respond.
