Overview
As we navigate the upcoming changes to the sector, following the 2024 general election, this is a prime time to stay up to date with the latest political developments in relation to higher education.
Join us, either in London or online, on Thursday 19 June 2025 for our annual conference that aims to give insights into the current political landscape and forthcoming political priorities for the sector.
Why should you attend?
You will engage in a range of political and policy insights through practical workshops and plenaries, guided by leading political and policy commentators. There will also be great networking opportunities among delegates and speakers.
Take a look at what our past attendees enjoyed about the conference.
- “As someone new to Public Affairs, I found it very useful and interesting and was able to network and meet people at universities near me working in Public Affairs. It was my first UUK event and I was really impressed.”
- “I found it very useful with insightful and enlightening speakers and sessions. In speaking to my counterparts at other institutions, they felt the same.”
If you are unable to join in person, you can register for access to a livestream of the plenary sessions (interactive sessions will not be streamed).
