Stay up to date with our work
Our monthly updates are a great way for you to stay up to date with our work, events, and higher education news.
We promote and protect UK universities by demonstrating their positive impact on student lives, economic growth, public services and wider society. Our communications and campaigning work helps maintain widespread public trust and political support for UK universities.
Our comms activities were first developed with a simple goal in mind: to promote UUK’s policy work and to provide comment to the media. Since then, our work has evolved to deliver so much more.
Today, we provide the inspiration, support and ambition for UK universities to speak and act collectively on a range of issues. These include the need to protect research funding, the future of university admissions, and the impact of Covid-19 on universities.
