Universities Week kicks off on Monday, 13 June and is a national campaign that aims to showcase universities and demonstrate how everyone benefits from the work they do. Different areas of higher education will be showcased during the week, the theme of which is What’s the Big Idea?

“We are known for our high quality teaching, excellent employability record, world-class research, strong student support and outstanding facilities.
"We transform lives and this campaign is an opportunity to celebrate our success stories."
