University Alliance brings together innovative and entrepreneurial universities to develop a new kind of excellence. They undertake world-class research that solves real-world problems; a quarter of the UK’s top research in engineering, allied health and design is done by them. They produce entrepreneurial and job-ready graduates: 89% of their graduates are employed six months after graduation and their graduates produce 21% of the UK’s turnover from graduate start-ups. They are leaders in their cities and regions, working with partners to develop and deliver strategies for growth.
