Which UK universities are using Snapchat?

Snapchat isn’t exactly the new kid on the block anymore, but you could say it has well and truly boomed in the social media community since the start of 2016. It is now a channel that can’t be ignored by institutions and despite the late start, many universities across the UK are starting to experiment with Snapchat.

One of the great things about the higher education community is the willingness of everyone to share their experiences and learn from each other. We’ve already chatted to early adopters, Newcastle University, about their Snapchat game, but we thought it would be useful for university marketing and communications teams to have access to a directory of universities using the platform. We hope that you can use the list to see how other universities are using Snapchat to engage with their audiences.

Below is a list of all the universities, students’ unions and services that we are aware of and their Snapchat usernames. If you think we have missed someone, please tweet us and we’ll add it!

For those viewing on a mobile, I have added links so that you can add a university on Snapchat directly from the blog post.
