Association of Commonwealth Universities
Welcome to The Association of Commonwealth UniversitiesWelcome to the ACU, the oldest and one of the largest inter-university networks in the world. Today’s ACU combines the expertise and reputation of nearly a century’s experience with new and innovative programmes designed to meet the needs of universities in the 21st century. Higher education is rapidly expanding and more international than ever before: the market for students and staff is a global one; research funds are increasingly allocated on an international, collaborative basis; academic reputations are based on global connections; and neither innovation nor good practice stop at national borders. Furthermore, at a time when tertiary education has never been higher on the development agenda, the ACU’s experience in fostering collaboration between developed and developing country universities has never been more relevant or important.
