The Association of Heads of University Administration (AHUA) is the representative body for senior University managers (Registrars, Chief Operating Officers, Heads of Administration) in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with Associate Members in other countries.

The AHUA has 190 members from 140 institutions and is managed by an elected Executive Committee.

The AHUA aims to represent the collective views of members on key issues and policies to the higher education (HE) sector, government and other stakeholders.

Our national sponsors are Mills & Reeve, Burness Paull and Carson McDowell.
