University English is the organisation for English lecturers in universities and colleges across the UK

University English is a non-profit professional body and community founded in 1993 to promote and protect the study of English in UK Higher Education.

It brings together university lecturers, heads of English, researchers, and independent scholars to promote dialogue, discuss matters of shared concern, and strategise for the successful future of English.

Our website is the hub of our community with information on our Book Prize, annual meetings and events, publications and media, and related networks. Members have access to all our online content and are invited to attend our conferences and general meetings to share knowledge and experiences. Join us today
