Funding of L&D activity

The University expects managers to prioritise L&D activity that is relevant, cost effective and timely. The funding sources available include:

Academic College/Professional Service funds

Each area is required to set a sufficient budget for L&D activity to ensure their staff receive the development required to meet the area's objectives.

Centrally held funds

Professional Services are allocated funds to provide specific L&D activity to support legislative requirements, other policies, best practice in University system and processes as well as Teaching, Research and Management development. More details are available from the Learning and Development webpages

Tuition refund scheme

The Tuition refund scheme allows staff to apply for funds to gain qualifications.
