Responding to the Sunday Times article about the recruitment of international students on pathway courses, Vivienne Stern MBE, Chief Executive of Universities UK said:
We've called for an urgent resolution to the ongoing discussions about UK access to Horizon Europe, with the future of the EU-UK research scheme ‘close to the precipice’.
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.
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.
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 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.
Universities across the UK are taking part in a week of campaigning activity to highlight their role in local communities, boosting economic growth and creating opportunities for everyone to live longer, more fulfilling lives.
Ahead of the autumn statement on 17 November, we are urging the Chancellor to recommit to uplifting investment on research and development. This long-term investment will ensure that universities can continue to support growth and prosperity across the whole of the UK.
