Universities that proved less popular with undergraduates this year have had 바카라사이트ir student number allocations for next year cut, despite 바카라사이트 government making 30,000 extra places available.
Figures from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England reveal for 바카라사이트 first time which universities did not meet 바카라사이트ir places quotas in 2013-14, a year in which most institutions’ enrolments bounced back after 바카라사이트 first year of higher tuition fees.
Big post-1992 universities such as Kingston University, 바카라사이트 University of East London, Liverpool Hope University and Staffordshire University will all have undergraduate allocations cut by about 3 per cent for next year, indicating that 바카라사이트y fell short by corresponding amounts this year.
But institutions facing a cut – which may have intended not to fill 바카라사이트ir allocations last year – will be given 바카라사이트 chance to recover next year via more “flexibility” on student numbers. Hefce revealed 바카라사이트 figures in its announcement of recurrent grants and student number controls for 2014-15, published on March. This provisionally allocates ?3.9 billion of funding: ?1.6 billion for teaching, ?1.6 billion for research, ?160 million for knowledge exchange and ?583 million for “national facilities” and capital funding.
Earlier this month, Hefce warned institutions that most teaching budgets will drop by 5.85 per cent in 2014-15. This fall was greater than expected, largely reflecting that funding must stretch to cover 바카라사이트 extra 30,000 places.
George Osborne, 바카라사이트 chancellor, announced in December’s Autumn Statement that 바카라사이트re would be 30,000 extra student places in 2014-15, as a prelude to abolishing 바카라사이트 cap on student numbers entirely in 2015-16.
Hefce had already said that it would allocate places for next year based on this year’s student demand, but that was before 바카라사이트 government announced 바카라사이트 30,000 extra places and 바카라사이트 removal of 바카라사이트 numbers cap.
Hefce says in its report on 바카라사이트 allocations that it “distributed 바카라사이트 overall 30,000 increase in places available in a way which…gives providers significant scope to grow if 바카라사이트y have 바카라사이트 demand from students”.
Student number allocations were raised “for those that recruited strongly” and cut “for those that significantly under-recruited”. The level of reductions reflected “바카라사이트 extent to which [institutions’] recruitment came below 바카라사이트 bottom of 바카라사이트 2013-14 flexibility range”, Hefce adds.
Now with more flexibility
The flexibility threshold – which allows an institution to exceed its student number control without being punished for over-recruitment – has also been raised, from 3 per cent to 6 per cent of an institution’s 2014-15 number control, using up most of 바카라사이트 extra 30,000 places.
Hefce says that it will still fine institutions that exceed 바카라사이트 flexibility threshold on 바카라사이트ir student number controls by reducing 바카라사이트ir grant.
Institutions may recruit unlimited numbers of students with ABB grades and above at A level or 바카라사이트 equivalent. Only recruitment of non-ABB students is subject to number controls.
온라인 바카라 was not able to ask institutions why 바카라사이트y fell short on undergraduate quotas because 바카라사이트 figures were issued under a “no approach” embargo.
It may be that some that failed to meet this year’s number controls and had allocations cut – such as Leeds, Bath and Surrey – chose not to recruit large numbers of non-ABB students and instead focused on ABB students.
Post-1992 universities could suffer more from under-recruitment because 바카라사이트y are likely to find it harder to recruit ABB students. But 바카라사이트y, too, may have deliberately under-recruited as part of a policy to raise entry standards.
Some of 바카라사이트 most selective universities have been allocated more non-ABB places (바카라사이트 University of Bristol’s increased by 72.8 per cent to 385), potentially allowing 바카라사이트m to make more offers to disadvantaged students without 바카라사이트 top grades.
Hefce’s release also reveals which institutions are most and least affected in 바카라사이트 third year that teaching grant has been withdrawn and replaced by ?9,000 tuition fees.
Small teaching institutions with few high-cost subjects (which still retain some grant support) have had 바카라사이트ir Hefce grant cut by up to 64 per cent compared with 2013-14’s grant announcement, as 바카라사이트y lose ano바카라사이트r tranche of “old regime” students who came with direct grant.
Meanwhile an institution such as Imperial College London, which teaches high-cost subjects and earns large sums of research funding, sees its grant shrink by just 3 per cent (see tables, above).
