Universities have an impact on all aspects of life
in Britain.
The jobs that every community relies on – the teachers, doctors,
dentists and nurses – are trained at university.
Universities attract valuable income and investment to all
corners of the UK, including the income and jobs that students bring. Our
universities also make up one of the most successful British exports, with
spending international students worth £7.3 billion a year to the economy.
Our world-leading research changes the world, and improves
people’s everyday lives in all sorts of ways.
And higher education is more inclusive than ever, giving
people from any background the opportunity to go to university and transform
their life prospects.
