Is University Academy 92 is private or public university ?

University Academy 92 (UA92) is a private higher education institution in the UK. Founded in 2017 through a partnership between Lancaster University and the Class of ’92 group of former Manchester United footballers, it operates independently as a private provider.

UA92 offers degree programs validated by Lancaster University but does not receive public funding like traditional public universities. Its focus on industry-aligned education and partnerships with businesses distinguishes it from publicly funded institutions. Students pay tuition fees directly to UA92, further confirming its private status.
