On 23 July we announced that student support would be made available for 10,000 additional places on science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses.
The 10,000 places were allocated to institutions by HEFCE according to their share of full-time undergraduates that entered in 2007-08 to priority subjects identified by Government. Where institutions indicated to HEFCE that they were unable to take up their share of places they were redistributed pro-rata across the sector.
More details on the final allocation of the 10,000 additional places are available on the HEFCE website at the following link:
