UWN comprises and is owned by a large network of education journalists from all regions of the world. It published its first issue in October 2007. UWN journalists report on higher education from world-ranking universities and from institutions in parts of the globe where universities are not strongly reported.

UWN also publishes a weekly Africa newsletter that has been supported by the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.[3] The publication has a close partnership with the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College.[4]

It was an exclusive media partner to the UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education in 2022[5] and a media partner to the OECD's Institutional Management in Higher Education conference in Paris in September 2010.

In 2016, it has been the media partner for Going Global of the British Council.[6]
