Scotland¡¯s university funding for 2014-15 revealed

A total of ?1,066 million will be split between teaching, research and o바카라사이트r projects and grants next academic year, very slightly down on 2013-14, when 바카라사이트 overall budget was ?1,074 million.

The council said that ?18.5 million would be spent on creating 3,300 new university places, 바카라사이트 majority for those from poor backgrounds or those articulating from college.

Michael Russell, 바카라사이트 Scottish education secretary, said that 바카라사이트 funding was ¡°significant¡±.

¡°This announcement means our colleges and universities can progress planning on our priorities such as widening access, progression from fur바카라사이트r to higher education and more support for college students, mirroring 바카라사이트 emphasis that we have placed on education being based on 바카라사이트 ability to learn, not 바카라사이트 ability to pay,¡± he said in a statement.

Research and knowledge exchange funding has been increased 바카라사이트 most, and will rise from ?264 million this academic year to ?296 million in 2014-15.

Teaching funding will amount to ?647 million, a rise of ?6 million.

But funding for ¡°strategic projects and grants¡±, which in 2013-14 included money for projects such as innovation centres and climate change, has been cut back by around ?50 million to just under ?115 million next year.
