Outreach and Access
The College has an enviable record of providing opportunities for the brightest young people from around the world, regardless of their social or economic circumstances.
Our strategy for widening access includes the appointment of new outreach staff, an enhanced Admissions Office, summer schools for pupils and teachers, mentoring programmes and innovative web-based communications.
Scholarships, Bursaries and Student Support
Tuition fees are now a fact of life, and in 2011–12 the tuition fee for UK/EU undergraduates will be £3,375 per year. From 2012 the government will be raising the cap on tuition fees to £9,000 to compensate for the reduced teaching budgets allocated to universities. In order to attract the best students from all backgrounds, the College must be able to offer financial support to all those who need it.
We need more scholarships and bursaries to encourage and reward excellence, supplemented by enhanced travel and book grants and funding for vacation research projects. There must be greater resources available for students who encounter unexpected financial hardship.
Increased funding will also enable us to attract the most able graduate students from around the world and to recruit as widely as possible.
