Two UK universities to join together to create a new‘ super-university’
T he
University of Greenwich and the University of Kent have announced their intention to formally collaborate.
The partnership will lead to the creation of a new‘ superuniversity’, the London and South East University Group – a new model bringing both institutions under one structure whilst enabling each university to retain its name, identity and local presence.
The collaboration will be a trailblazing model, establishing a first-of-its-kind multi university group, which will create a
blueprint for other institutions to follow. The new university group will become one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK and the largest in the South of England. It will be the biggest recruiter of students in London and the South East.
Professor Jane Harrington, Vice Chancellor of the University of Greenwich, said:“ Our vision is to deliver education without boundaries, from city to coast. Combining the strengths of two proud institutions gives us a greater foundation to transform lives and unlock opportunity across London and the South East.
“ Students will remain at the heart of everything we do, as we continue to provide innovative teaching, personalised support and a culture that celebrates individuality. As a civic university group, we will be a powerful force for our region – energising communities, upskilling local people and partnering with business to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow.”
The new ' super-univeristy ' will have one unified governing body, academic board and executive team and one vice-chancellor.
Alteryx and Evisions launch Accelerators to transform higher education data use
A lteryx, a leading AI and data analytics provider, has announced a new phase in its partnership with Evisions, an enterprise reporting solutions provider for higher education. The collaboration aims to help colleges and universities transform how they work with data, enabling faster access to information, deeper insights and more efficient decision-making across campus operations.
The development includes the launch of Accelerators: a set of flexible, scalable solutions featuring Evisions’ flagship reporting tool, Argos, which uses the data blending capabilities of the Alteryx One platform. Accelerators provide use-case-driven dashboards and workflows, with connectors to core higher education systems. These enable institutions to prepare, blend and visualise data from across campus, better understand the student journey, identify at-risk students earlier and deliver targeted support.
“ Our collaboration with Alteryx underscores our commitment to innovation and delivering solutions that meet the unique information needs of higher education,” said Jim Farrell, Chief Solutions Officer at Evisions.“ By integrating with Alteryx, we are equipping institutions with the tools to connect legacy systems with modern platforms, automate complex processes and unlock actionable insights.”
With pre-built connectors and workflows, institutions can bypass months of development and gain real-time visibility into enrolment, advising and more.
Steven Birdsall, Chief Revenue Officer at Alteryx, said:“ The ability to analyse and act on data is more critical than ever. Together with Evisions, we are enabling schools to leverage the full power of their data for smarter, faster operations.”
