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.

In the Higher Education sector this financing route has gained increasing prominence both through its use in off-balance sheet structures to deliver Design Build Finance and Operate (“DBFO”) student accommodation projects, such as that for University of Staffordshire (Project Detail), and its use for direct fund raising, such as transactions for the University of Lancashire and University of Kent.
