Advance HE

Advance HE came into being in March 2018, following the merger of the Equality Challenge Unit, the Higher Education Academy and the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education.

Our vision is that the world-class reputation and standing of higher education is enhanced and recognised for transforming lives, enriching society and developing the economy for the better.

We are jointly owned by GuildHE and Universities UK, and are not part of the regulatory framework. We are about development focused on supporting the sectors desire to improve its own practice. 

We create ‘safe places’ for the sector to address its challenges without the need for government intervention.
