ACCESS AGREEMENT 2008/09 to 20010/11Access Agreement • January 31st, 2008
Contract Type FiledJanuary 31st, 2008The University’s Access Agreement for 2008/09 is based upon its agreement for 2007/08, but modified to take account of the enhanced arrangements for student support from 2008 onwards announced by Government. The provisions of the Agreement are intended to extend educational opportunity to the maximum number of students who are likely to succeed, by providing financial assistance to those whom we judge need it most. The modification to the previous agreement consists of replacing a two-tiered bursary scheme (Mandatory and Discretionary Bursaries) with a single-rate Student Bursary scheme which benefits all students starting in 2008/09 and identified under the regulations as eligible for means-tested support.
