In November the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announced an extra £75m for university science teaching over the next three years

Universities will get ca £1000 per student extra in high-cost science subjects including chemistry, that HEFCE has identified as strategically important to the economy and to society but are vulnerable because of 'relatively low student demand'.  

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
