Financial Sustainability in Larger Higher Education Providers: Reflections from the BUFDG Annual Meeting 2025

The UK Higher Education (“HE”) sector continues to face financial headwinds driven, in part, by limited increases in domestic tuition fees, volatility international recruitment and inflationary pressures. The May 2025 Office for Students (”OfS”) financial sustainability report highlighted that 45% of providers are expecting an operating deficit in FY24/25, with many universities announcing redundancy and restructuring programmes to improve their financial position.

PROJECTS:
