The outcome of that investment is that for the second year running, we were awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework, which was introduced by Government to recognise excellence in learning and teaching in UK Universities and colleges. We are particularly proud to have received strong praise for the support we provide to our students and the outcomes they achieve.
We are extremely proud of the difference our students, graduates and staff make to transforming lives and positively impacting society – whether that’s in the arts, business, politics, law, teaching, healthcare or science and engineering. 95.9%* of our graduates progress into work or further study within 6 months of completing their studies here.
Our income also enables the University to undertake research that helps tackle issues such as in healthcare, modern slavery and addressing environmental issues, particularly flooding and transitioning to become carbon neutral. This research also feeds into what we teach our students.
Where does our income comes from
It’s not only tuition fees that are invested in our students’ experience, teaching and research. We also generate income from research grants and contracts, as well as things like accommodation and catering.
