About Universities UK
Universities UK is the collective voice of over 140 universities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our conferences convene vice-chancellors, senior leaders and specialist teams around the policy questions the sector is wrestling with right now.
Partnering with us gives you a credible platform, time with decision-makers in a focused setting, and visibility across our marketing to the whole membership. Every package is shaped with our policy teams so your contribution lands with the right audience.
If you are interested in any of the below opportunities and would like to know more or book a place, please contact Magda Graszka, Senior Events Manager or Jacob Glass, Marketing and Events Officer, on [email protected].

Universities UK brought together a level of seniority we don't see at other higher education events. The chance to hear directly from vice-chancellors, sector leaders and ministers in one place made it genuinely valuable for us as a sponsor, and we'd be keen to be part of it again next year.
