In this time of turbulence and challenge for the higher education sector where there is talk of mergers and, some fear, universities going under, there is much to keep an eye on. Fortunately there is a fun and handy way to do this. The first series of I Spy Universities was launched on Wonkhe some years ago and the classic editions are still available.

For those unfamiliar with the concept, each I Spy book offers interesting facts, information and HESA data about every UK university and are a fantastic way for HE wonks of all ages to learn and discover the higher education world around them.

The newly expanded I Spy Universities book series is sure to be an even bigger hit in the sector as it brings all the fun and nostalgia wonks will remember from their youth bang up to date.

 Keen spotters can also choose more detailed titles for a range of higher education features too:

• I Spy Labour Government HE Policies
• I Spy RAAC Roofing
• I Spy Celebrity University Chancellors
• I Spy Academic Dress (in partnership with the Burgon Society)
• I Spy Ofsted Inspectors
• I Spy Sector Regulatory Agencies
• I Spy Students’ Union Sabbatical Officers

• I Spy International Branch Campuses
• I Spy Former Universities Ministers
• I Spy Pro-Vice-Chancellors
• I Spy TEF Gold Universities
• I Spy University Committees

As if that weren’t enough I Spy related fun, the following titles are due to be published soon: I Spy Very Small Universities, I Spy Student Protests, I Spy University Mission Groups, I Spy QS Top 200 World Ranking Universities and I Spy Doctoral Training Centres.

Spot it, spy it and score it to become a super-spotter (100,000+ points) and we’ll send you a much-prized certificate and spotter’s badge (we might not).

Whether individually or as  university leadership team, this exciting series will guarantee hours of higher ed spotting fun and discovery.*
