University of Birmingham to host HEFCE's initiative to increase and widen participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in higher education

In December the Higher Education and Funding Council for England (HEFCE) announced that the University of Birmingham will host the National Higher Education Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Programme. Set to launch in August 2009, the programme will build on the successes of the four HEFCE-funded two-year pilot projects aimed at encouraging students to study STEM subjects in HE - Chemistry for our future, Stimulating physics, London engineering project, and More maths grads.
