Financial health, per FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the University reported an operational deficit of £22.8 million for the year ended 31 July 2025, driven by rising costs and structural underfunding. Despite this deficit, the net asset position remains strong at £753.7 million, and the trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties regarding the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
