Learning Enrichment Fund offers support to enrich the student experience
16 Oct 2013
Staff and students are invited to apply for funding for projects by 25 October
Donations to the University from alumni and friends support a wide variety of projects and programmes across campus to enrich the academic and wider university experience for the student body as a whole.
Past projects include a new study space in the Precinct Library, installation of a recharging station for mobile devices, and renovating unwanted or unused bikes found on campus and renting them out to students. Around £450,000 has been given out to deserving projects to date.
We are now accepting applications to the Learning Enrichment Fund from students and staff for suitable projects.
