The Environment
• Scotland's HE, a success
• Scottish Post-16 Education policy
• SGF decreased from 09/10 in real terms; protected (cuts in capital)
• Small expansion in funded places
• RUK funding …. changing pattern
• Edinburgh Napier receives c. 58% of funding from SFC
The Environment
• Internationally HE demand is high
• Policy environment
• Competition
• Diverse student populations; demography
• Graduates attributes … complexity
• Technology
• Brand / reputation
Where are we now?
• A modern, professional university
– Broad portfolio of degrees, professional
– Strong focus on employability
– Applied research
– Good links with business / industry
Solid Foundations
• applications grew strongly to 2011/12
• student retention increased
• diverse student community
• graduate employment rates strong, but < Scottish average
• international student numbers in Edinburgh have fallen
• RUK student numbers have fallen
• overseas delivered student numbers growing strongly
• research income down (£4.9m to £3.4m)
• commercial income up (£5.7m to £8.5m)

•
•
Enthusiastic committed staff
Strong commitment to students
Good pedagogic innovation
Research / industrial engagement
Strong TN profile
Income flat lining
