Each institutional member can nominate up to two individuals as its representatives. They must be senior university managers, responsible for their institution’s professional services and/or the administration of the governing body, and report to the Vice-Chancellor or Chair of Council or equivalent. Job titles include Registrar, Chief Operating Officer, Head of Administration, University Secretary. Download the AHUA membership form here.

Membership Benefits

A key benefit of AHUA membership is the access members gain to a network of colleagues performing similar roles in HE management. Members have the opportunity to share experience and information about current issues and trends, gain early insight into emerging strategic topics and influence their direction.
