ABOUT US

The first global window on higher education

With international competition and collaboration between universities growing apace, it has never been more important for higher education managers, researchers, scholars and public officials to keep abreast of developments in their field and in rival and partner institutions worldwide. University World News is the first high-quality truly international newspaper and website, dedicated to providing such coverage. Supported by some of the world’s most experienced education journalists, and aimed at higher education readers worldwide, it is offering a weekly emailed newspaper plus access to a dedicated news website – free of charge.

Who we are

University World News comprises a network of three-dozen education journalists based in more than two-dozen countries, with representation in all regions. Our journalists are respected senior reporters who have been prolifically published in international and national newspapers and magazines.

University World News is the first publication of Higher Education Web Publishing Ltd, with its registered office in London, but is produced and managed by staff working in Durban, London, Melbourne, Montreal and Copenhagen. Technical support is provided by the South African online media company, E-Briefs News.

Our newspaper is free

Each week University World News provides readers with a free emailed newspaper and updated website. Coverage from our correspondents around the world includes news reports, analysis, features, global round-ups on key issues, plus links to interesting stories from other leading newspapers and journals around the world.

We offer a far wider range of higher education stories than is currently possible from a single publication, and to provide a truly international perspective to an international readership – just the kind of resource that a busy academic, manager, researcher or policy-maker needs to keep abreast of the field globally.

University World News journalists report on the whole gamut of higher education from top world-ranking universities to institutions in more marginalised parts of the globe where universities are not strongly reported, enhancing higher education communication and understanding globally. The University World News website is also a repository for information on grants, higher education research, the news releases of tertiary organisations, new jobs and other developments, as well as featuring myriad links to higher education organisations and bodies worldwide.

You are invited to become a reader for no charge. Click Here to complete a simple registration process to obtain full access to the website and to our weekly news diary. If you like what we do – let your colleagues know about us.
