Request
I write to request information regarding funding the Department for Continuing Education
has received over the past five academic years, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18
and 2018-19.
Please list the total amount of private funding received by the Department for Continuing
Education in the past five academic years, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and
2018-19.
Please also list the total amount of public funding received by the Department for
Continuing Education in the past five academic years, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-
18 and 2018-19.
Dear Ms Lynch-Watson

For the purposes of this request, we have defined public funding as any money provided by central government
or a government agency, including the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and its former constituent bodies
(e.g. EPSRC, NERC, etc.). We consider private funding to include any grants or donations provided by
companies, charities or individuals.
We have also provided the data in terms of financial years, as opposed to academic years, because that is the
form in which the data is kept. It would require a vast amount of work to split the funding received by academic
year and it would not be particularly meaningful. The University’s financial year runs from 1st August to 31st July.
