History
HEPI is a charity established in 2002 to promote research into, and understanding of, all aspects of higher education, and to disseminate the findings to policy makers and the general public in the United Kingdom and beyond. HEPI is funded by higher education institutions and other organisations that wish to see a vibrant higher education policy evidence-based debate, stimulated by reports, analyses, surveys, blogs and a variety of events, such as webinars, seminars and conferences.
Through its University Partnership Programme, HEPI is supported by the majority of higher education institutions across the UK[3]; in addition, a number of corporate organisations engage with HEPI via its Partnership Programme[4].
HEPI’s editorial independence is guarded by its Trustees and an Advisory Board, who conduct a peer review process on all major projects.
HEPI’s work has been recognised in the Prospect Think Tank of the Year Awards: in 2014, when it won the ‘One to Watch’ category[5]; and in 2020, when it was the runner up in the ‘Health and Social Policy’ category.
Notable publications
In recent years, HEPI has produced 20 to 30 reports a year.
Recent reports of note include studies on the graduate gender pay gap[6], likely future demand for UK higher education[7], a collection of essays on reducing racial inequalities in higher education[8] and an assessment of whether the UK still has a single higher education sector.[9]
HEPI produces, in partnership with Advance HE, an annual Student Academic Experience Survey[10] which has been running since 2006. It collects information on a range of issues, including students’ perceptions of value for money, wellbeing and workload, and is widely used to support policy and practice changes.
Every weekday morning – and frequently on Saturdays – HEPI publishes a short policy blog from a range of voices in and around higher education. The blog is free to sign up to at the bottom of their home page.
