Universities Wales response to changes to student support and higher education funding

‘Universities Wales welcomes this announcement of additional support, which comes at a critical time for Welsh universities. Our universities play a fundamental role in communities across Wales: generating jobs, transforming lives, supporting public services, and delivering world-leading research and innovation.

‘The additional in-year investment of £10m in higher education, alongside the alignment of fees in Wales with elsewhere in the UK, will provide much needed investment to our universities.

‘We will continue to work with Welsh Government and Medr to articulate the scale of the challenges that face our universities along with identifying long-term solutions to ensure the sustainability of our universities.’
