Information on the amount of financial support provided to higher education institutions through the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE), both on a sector and institutional level, is available on the HEFCE website. It can be found in the ‘Student Opportunity Allocations’ spreadsheet on the ‘Funds for learning and teaching’ tab for respective years at http://www.hefce.ac.uk/funding/annallocns/.

Information is also available, at both sector and institutional level, on Access Agreement allocations provided to higher education institutions. This can be found via the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) website at https://www.offa.org.uk/publications/analysis-data-and-progress-reports/ in the ‘institutional expenditure and fee levels document’, ‘key statistics and analysis’ and ‘access agreement data tables’ spreadsheets.
