1994 Group

Established to promote excellence in research and teaching. To enhance student and staff experience within our universities and to set the agenda for higher education. Established in 1994, the Group brings together eleven internationally renowned, research-intensive universities. The Group provides a central vehicle to help members promote their common interests in higher education, respond efficiently to key policy issues, and share best methods and practice.

Working as a group, we respect and support our members' particular traits and traditions. We're constantly looking for ways to apply our shared and individual strengths to meet the needs of students and staff, employers and industry, research councils, government agencies and all other interested parties. Our members are Birkbeck, University of London; University of East Anglia; University of Essex; Goldsmiths, University of London; Institute of Education, University of London; Royal Holloway, University of London; Lancaster University; University of Leicester; Loughborough University; School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and University of Sussex.
