About the UK HE sector

The UK higher education sector is very diverse both in terms of the institutions that offer higher education and research opportunities, the range of activities in which the HE sector is involved and the variety of organisations that comprise the sector or that interact with the sector.

Within this section of the UUK website you can find a list of organisations that are part of or involved with the higher education sector as well as an extensive set of frequently asked questions. We have also provided a contact form in case you have additional questions not covered by this section.

For information on HE policy please see the Policy and research section of this website.
