Scottish modern universities are a national asset, says the Association for Modern Universities, MillionPlus, as it publishes its updated Scotland Facts and Stats document.
Rachel Hewitt, Chief Executive of MillionPlus, said:
“Scottish moderns are, and always have been, closely in tune with the needs of their communities, be that at local, national or international level. All have a long history of providing the skills, training, R&D and innovation support that industry requires to succeed, and all play a vital role in creating the pipeline of graduate talent that businesses draw from, as they collectively drive economic growth.
“In our rapidly evolving world, the role of modern universities has never been more vital. As the figures in this publication show, these institutions are not just centres of learning; they are engines of innovation, hubs of social change and catalysts for economic growth.
