N.B. Rounded down by 1%. Figures are for the 2020/21 academic year. This information will be updated annually.
The outcome of that investment is that for three years 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% of students are in work or further study fifteen months after graduating*.
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.
