Launched in 2022 by the British Council, Alumni UK is the global network for international graduates of a UK education, including those who studied transnationally or online. It brings together UK alumni from around the world to celebrate their shared connection to the UK.

Whether you earned your degree at a UK university or completed a UK qualification overseas, you're invited to join. While the programme is primarily for graduates, final-year international students currently enrolled at UK institutions are also welcome to register and begin connecting.

‘Alumni UK gave me a platform to scale my impact beyond what I could have achieved alone. It brought visibility, opened doors to funding and partnerships, and connected me with passionate professionals from across the world.’

‘What stands out most is the sense of shared purpose. I’ve built connections not just within my SDG theme, but across others too — intersections that have inspired broader, more meaningful collaborations.’ - Urvashi Prasad, SDG Ambassador – Reducing Inequalities (India), Public Health & Policy Advisor

‘It’s through Alumni UK that I became a climate youth facilitator at COP29, connected with global changemakers, and helped others from my region get involved.’ 

‘The platform also inspired me to co-found the University of Glasgow Azerbaijan Alumni Association. It’s more than networking — it’s impact-building, recognition, and community all in one.’ - Atir Guliyeva, SDG Ambassador – Quality Education (Azerbaijan), Education Specialist & Inclusive Education Advocate
