The British Universities Finance Directors Group (BUFDG) is the representative body for higher education finance staff in the United Kingdom. We have been delivering professional services and support to our member universities for nearly two decades.
We aim to be the recognised channel for the provision, analysis, and dissemination of information, guidance and support across the HE Finance sector.
In a nutshell: BUFDG helps institutions deliver value, save money, enhance finance capabilities, and work together. For more about the benefits of BUFDG membership, click on the Membership tab, or download the statement of benefits.
The organisation has the following objectives:
To inform, guide and support
To facilitate networking and development
To partner, coordinate and advocate

We also try to work with other sector associations as much as we can. We have compiled a list of all the associations we are aware of in HE. If you know of anymore, please let us know. There are also lots of acronyms in the sector, so we have compiled a useful list.
