For those new to the sector, the Financial Sustainability Strategy Group is a high-level forum that considers the strategic, policy, cultural and technical issues relating to the financial sustainability of HE in the UK. It has recently published an information sheet, formed from information originally presented at the All Party Parliamentary University Group session ‘Financial sustainability of the university sector’ by the Chair of FSSG, Professor Mark E. Smith (Vice-Chancellor, Lancaster University).
The brief report outlines the UK higher education sector’s key funding model and structures, provides facts and figures on its financial sustainability, and explains the role and aim of the FSSG. It’s a useful introductory document for anyone wanting to gain a little more understanding of the various elements of university funding, and it also contains links for further reading.
