Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she is taking steps to encourage UK students to study at the University of Gibraltar.

The department encourages prospective students to choose to study at an institution that best meets their needs and interests. The department understands that there are UK students who have chosen to study at the University of Gibraltar, either funded privately or on a scholarship. The department is currently exploring whether it would be possible to finance English students to study in Gibraltar, whilst ensuring that those students receive an education and benefit from safeguards which are broadly comparable with those in England.
