UK universities are a national asset and a critical part of our infrastructure, essential for our global competitiveness, economic growth and ensuring inclusive growth.
Underfunding will restrict the ability of universities to drive inclusive economic growth and underpin the UK’s global competitiveness. On the flip side, sustained funding that ensures the quality of the student journey, maintains the opportunity for future students to access learning compared with those over the last decade, and enhances the UK’s ability to deliver world-leading research and innovation will rapidly escalate the positive contributions of universities and their impact.
Universities are crucial to sustain the UK’s global strategic advantage, through our world-leading research and innovation, and world-class education.

Our universities contribute £116 billion to the UK’s economy through their role as employers and purchasers of goods and services. When the spending of international students is taken into account, their total impact on the UK economy is £130 billion.
Everyone across the UK should be able to benefit from rises in living standards as a result of economic growth. This requires addressing geographical disparities, and ensuring all individuals should have the opportunity to share equally in the UK’s success. Universities play a critical role in addressing economic deprivation.
