o More and better impact case studieso Greater emphasis on 4*
• High proportion of ECRs – realising their potential• Hitting projected income and reversing downturn in % earnings• Industrial income and corporate partnerships • RCUK funding – further increasing market share of declining(?) resource• PGR – external funding, international, quality
Education • Embedding employability and enhancing graduate prospects• High margin activity with STEM costs• International partnerships and recruitment: Low base provides opportunity for existing
UG and PGT programmes; esp. Psychology, Biosciences, Cornwall, INTO• New programme development: e.g. Marine biology, Sport and Exercise Medicine
(UG/PGT), clinical psychology PGT, …..
