Universities are gearing up to help the growing number of young people applying to university this summer, with the vast majority expected to get their first-choice course.
A new practice note will today be published by Universities UK to help universities prepare, ahead of the start of the academic year, for any reported spiking incidents.
Universities across the UK are today insisting they can play a bigger role in generating economic growth and are calling on the new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, and his government, to create the conditions to accomplish this in a new report.
Universities need to have clearer policies on how and when they should involve family, carers and trusted friends when there is considered to be a serious risk to the welfare of a student.
Responding to the Sunday Times article about the recruitment of international students on pathway courses, Vivienne Stern MBE, Chief Executive of Universities UK said:
Official figures have been released on UK revenues from education-related exports and show a total figure of £27.9bn in 2021. 77.9% of this was accounted for by Higher Education.
Universities UK (UUK), on behalf of USS employers, has today issued a joint statement with the University and College Union (UCU) outlining how both parties are working together on the future of USS benefits.
In anticipation for the general election, universities want to work more closely with the next government to support a national drive to achieve stronger economic growth and improve opportunities for individuals and for communities across the whole of the UK.
