Investment
Why doesn’t the University spend all its income?
The office is a ‘not for profit organisation’ but it is essential that we are financially stable and are able to invest in our future. We therefore make a surplus to allow us to invest in the physical and technological infrastructure of the University and continually improve the student experience
