Information for Students. 8. Full information about fee levels and bursary entitlement will be published in the prospectus and in other publicity leaflets. The institution already produces a guide to students on financial support and advice that is currently sent to all new students. This will be extended to include reference to the new fee and bursary arrangements. It will also include advice on living costs and advice on opportunities to combine full time study with part time employment. This is a particular strength of the University of Worcester where the Students’ Union, in collaboration with Job Centre Plus, has pioneered a Job Point, the first of its kind to be located in an HEI. Where there are specific and additional costs associated with a course (e.g. courses in Art and Design and Outdoor Recreation Management) these will be set out at the time of the offer letter as well as referred to in course leaflets. A new area of the University’s web-site will be developed, which will provide a comprehensive guide to the financial aspects of study. The institution employs a Financial Adviser to students and this post provides the focus for the provision of information and advice to applicants and students. Staff in the Marketing and Admissions offices also provide financial information and advice to potential students, through schools liaison, UCAS Fairs and other recruitment activities. A further financial adviser has been appointed to provide additional financial advice and guidance to students.
