Universities are economic, social and cultural powerhouses in their regions, supporting and responding to the needs of UK and international business. Their graduates are fundamental to successful regional economies, providing opportunities for individuals to succeed in the workforce.
Modern universities lead in offering degree courses in some of the most cutting-edge sectors of the economy – educating nearly 70% of those studying software engineering and 60% of students in computer sciences.
