Independent Higher Education is a representative body for some higher education institutions in the United Kingdom. It represents 'independent' providers of higher education, generally those that are non-university, international, or for-profit institutions.[1] It is one of the sector bodies consulted by the UK Government on issues such as free speech at universities[2] and the admission of students during the Covid pandemic.[3] The chief executive of Independent Higher Education is a member of the Department for Business and Trade's Education Sector Advisory Group.[4]
