100% of your donation will go directly towards providing vital scholarships and bursaries for students in need, breaking down barriers and enabling them to excel academically and build a brighter future.

Your gift this Giving Tuesday will transform lives, helping students like Yusuf, Karena, and Rani focus on their education and create positive change—for themselves and their communities.

Our education is Outstanding!

The rating comes following a recent visit by Ofsted, who assessed our education across all categories for our apprenticeship provision and rated them Outstanding.
We’re one of only eight Universities nationally to receive this top rating.

As a university, we’re committed to providing students with varied study options that suit their career goals and to providing employers the opportunity to work with us to meet their skills needs.

We’re so proud that these incredible results from an independent regulator recognise our work in achieving these aims and recognise the quality of our educators who teach our degree apprentices, alongside our undergraduate and postgraduate degree students.
