Increasing specialist teaching space Whilst the University has some excellent learning and teaching facilities and has an annual investment programme which aims to keep our student offer competitive in the sector, we need to ensure that this remains true for all subject areas. Health subjects are specifically targeted for growth in our portfolio planning, with strong growth potential for sports sciences and new courses such as physiotherapy under consideration. Further opportunities exist in counselling and psychotherapy, paramedic science and noting that the NHS plans to expand the availability of student placements to facilitate more nurse (c6,000) and allied health practitioner training places (c1,000). The scope for the University to capitalise on these opportunities is limited by our current estate.
