Notice Title

Review of Student Funding

Notice Description

As part of the scoping and drafting our new 4-year APP, due for submission to the OfS by end of July 2023, we would like to carry out a review of the efficacy of the financial support offered to students. The recommendations will help us understand what the risks are to equality of opportunity and will help us determine whether the current offer is appropriate or whether we need to change the balance of investment in the new 2024-28 APP.
