The UK's only independent think tank devoted to higher education.

University Partnership

The HEPI University Partnership Programme is open to all organisations that have a key interest in the successful development of the UK’s higher education sector and wish to support HEPI’s mission to create a better informed policy environment in HE.

The University Partnership Programme is designed to provide its member organisations with secure privileged access to valuable sources of information and advice, specifically relating to the national policy environment within which they operate, as well as providing members of the programme with advanced and exclusive access to HEPI’s own initiatives and research outputs.

The annual cost of membership of the University Partnership Programme is £2,200 (+VAT) and provides access to a range of exclusive benefits including:

  • A detailed higher education policy briefing paper produced three times a year (an example from April 2022 is available here)
  • Invitation for our university partners’ nominee to attend an annual HEPI Policy Briefing Day
  • Advanced copy of HEPI’s research reports (HEPI publishes around a 20 pieces of research per year) together with pre-publication briefings for HEPI’s university partners
  • Guaranteed reserved places for HEPI university partners’ nominee at HEPI’s paid-for events (for example, HEPI conferences which normally have delegate fees costing in the region of £400 inc VAT)
  • Advance notice of HEPI’s research and events programme
