New student places in 2009-10

24 July 2009

HEFCE has received a letter from Higher Education Minister David Lammy on behalf of the Secretary of State setting out how he would like the Council to respond to the announcement that the Government will fund student support for an extra 10,000 full-time undergraduate places for 2009-10.

We shall be writing to all institutions early next week setting out the distribution of these new student places. The guidance will include the detailed list of the subjects relating to the broad categories specified in the annex to the Minister's letter.
