Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the University recorded an operating deficit of £13.3m for the year ended 31 July 2025, driven by recruitment shortfalls and restructuring costs. Although the University reported net current liabilities at the balance sheet date due to a technical covenant breach, it subsequently secured a £16.5m revolving credit facility to repay the loan and strengthen liquidity. The Board considers the University to have adequate resources to continue as a going concern through July 2027.
