Our Global Impact
Transforming higher education around the globe.
The University Design Institute is committed to making higher education a powerful catalyst for social and economic change.
We empower changemakers in higher education by providing tools, insights and frameworks to create long-term, sustainable transformation. Our ultimate goal is to make ourselves redundant — ensuring that our partners gain the knowledge and strategies to independently advance their initiatives for a better future.
