Communications and Advocacy

The Communications & Advocacy team is responsible for promoting and stewarding the University's reputation.
Our specialists in media relations, internal communications and political and civic affairs inform and engage staff and students, broadcasters and newspapers, and politicians and policymakers in the UK across the globe. We highlight the University’s successes and build trust and advocacy for its mission, enhancing our public reputation to support our strategic aims for education, research, student recruitment and global influence.
