The Association of University Administrators (AUA) is the professional body for higher education administrators and managers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The AUA exists to advance and promote the professional recognition and development of all who work in professional services roles in higher education, and to be an authoritative advocate and champion for the sector.
AUA was formed from a merger of the Association of Polytechnic Administrators (APA) and the Conference of University Administrators (CUA). CUA traced its history back to the Meeting of University Academic Administrative Staff, founded in 1961. AUA will celebrate the golden jubilee of the professionalisation of support staff in UK universities in 2011.
