University of Northampton
UK Higher Education International Unit 
UK HE International Unit 

The Unit's core functions complement existing sector activity without duplicating or competing with it. They are:

  • Assembling timely and high quality data and information about international developments and movements in higher education, and adding value to them through research and analysis designed to develop foresight about international trends and their potential impact on UK HEIs;
  • Making the results of this work readily available to UK HEIs and providing a meeting point for the sharing of information about globalisation, and the discussion of issues that arise;
  • Helping to ensure that there is joined-up thinking and appropriate co-ordination between the range of UK organisations involved in international activity related to higher education, thereby increasing its impact and helping to advance the reputation of UK higher education in overseas countries.

The International Unit has its own website: please use the link on the right to access information on our research programme, communications work and news and country profiles pages. The Unit also works closely with Universities UK’s Policy and Research Groups. To found out more, follow the International and European Policy link on the right hand side.
