As universities prepare to welcome a new cohort of students, a new report by London Economics has revealed that higher education makes a £116 billion contribution to the UK economy - £130 billion including the spending of international students.
The #WeAreInternational campaign was founded over ten years ago. It aims to highlight the contributions that international students make to universities, towns and cities across the UK, as well as reiterate the message to prospective students that the UK is a welcoming place for them to study.
Responding to the new set of Teaching Excellence Framework results released by the Office for Students, UUK President and Principle and Vice Chancellor of St Andrews University, Professor Dame Sally Mapstone DBE FRSE, said:
Universities UK Chief Executive, Vivienne Stern MBE, responds to the Prime Minister’s comments on education made at the Conservative Party Conference 2023:
The Government’s ambitious plans to strengthen the NHS can only be achieved if significant changes are made to healthcare education and training now, warns Universities UK (UUK).
Our universities aim to do their very best to make sure all staff and students can live, work and study in a safe environment. Take a look at our work with universities to provide guidance and recommendations to tackle all forms of harassment up to 2022.
Powering the NHS sets out how the NHS and education leaders can work together to deliver the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan by removing barriers into healthcare training and creating the conditions for innovation to thrive.
The UK’s universities are a success story and one of the UK’s greatest assets. We’re calling on political parties to commit to policies in their manifestos to help our universities continue to transform lives.
