Our funding methods
Most of our funding is distributed as block grants to institutions, allocated by formula. These take account of various factors, including recruitment in academic subject categories, mode and level, and the amount of high quality research undertaken in the institution.
Postgraduate Research (PGR) Funding Method
We receive capital funding each year from the Welsh Government to support the learning and teaching and IT infrastructure, and the research infrastructure in the higher education sector.
