New and agreed HEFCE-funded projects

[Extract from 'A new "University Challenge"']

In the last five years, 11 towns or wider areas have benefited from new universities and new higher education provision. HEFCE has already agreed to support projects that will benefit a further six areas, with projects starting in this academic year or later. Between 2003 and the end of this Comprehensive Spending Review around £100 million in capital will have been committed on these developments. We expect projects to leverage in funding from other sources. When fully operational, there should be places for around 9,000 students from all the projects agreed since 2003.

New university campuses or other local higher education centres that have received capital funding and additional student numbers since 2003 include:

  • Barnsley
  • Cornwall
  • Cumbria
  • Darlington
  • Folkestone
  • Hastings
  • Medway
  • Oldham
  • Peterborough
  • Southend
  • Suffolk

And HEFCE has recently agreed projects which may involve capital investment and in some cases a small number of students in the current academic year:

  • Blackburn
  • Blackpool
  • Burnley
  • Everton
  • Grimsby
  • North and South Devon
