Policy
We ensure policy development across a wide range of higher education issues is underpinned by a robust evidence base. This work currently spans six main areas:
-
Research
Our universities are global leaders in research, but it is vital they receive sufficient funding and support
-
Education
A high-quality, research-led education requires proper funding at both undergraduate and postgraduate level
-
University access
The under-representation of talented students from certain backgrounds has deep-rooted causes which we cannot solve alone
-
Business & Innovation
Collaboration with business is a key part of the work of our universities but Government could foster more innovation
-
EU & International
Our universities are global businesses competing for staff, students and funding with the best in the world
-
Regulation & Management
Autonomy is crucial to the success of our universities – they will not flourish if they are over-regulated
