Our Vision for Higher Education
Our vision is of a sustainable, diverse and dynamic higher education sector which:
• plays a full part in the development of a well-educated and socially inclusive nation;
• enhances the UK's economic competitiveness; and
• fosters cultural engagement, knowledge creation and exchange in a global context.
Our mission is:
• to make the case for institutional diversity and distinctiveness within the UK higher education sector;
• to highlight the interests and strengths of our member higher education institutions (HEIs) to government, national and international agencies, employers, potential students and the wider community;
• to represent members' views and to make an informed and evidence-based contribution to national policy development and debate concerning higher education;
• to provide a forum for the executive heads of member institutions to take action on matters of common concern;
• to disseminate good practice guidance and to encourage leading edge practice amongst member institutions;
• to be a primary source of professional support to our members via the services we provide.
