About Us

CUBO is the association for commercial and campus services professionals working in higher and further education institutions in the UK and Ireland


We support members to create excellent campus experiences

CUBO members are responsible for the strategic development, management and operation of student accommodation, catering, retail, sport, security, printing, transport, cleaning, childcare, customer services, conferencing, vacation letting and other campus and commercial services.

Whether supporting new students in halls, running graduation events, creating value for money meals, providing sport and physical activities, winning conference business or bringing new retail brands onto campus, our members make a major contribution to the student and campus experience.

We are leaders in student accommodation and residence life in the UK and Ireland.  We administer the UUK/GuildHE Accommodation Code of Practice to which over 140 institutions subscribe.

Through CUBO, all staff from a member institution can tap into the incredible knowledge and support of over 1500 fellow professionals. We represent most UK and Irish higher education institutions and also welcome FE and international institutions.
