Yes, you're right. Getting my low tariff HE institutions in Soton mixed up...

I find that extremely hard to believe. One of my friends is a Prof. there and he has not mentioned anything (and he normally would do). Last month Prince Harry opened their new £35m Engineering and Digital Technology Park... Not saying it is impossible but seems very unlikely.

Where much of UoB's good news originates... University scores nomination for top journalism award BA Sport Journalism’s partnership with Brighton and Hove Albion has been shortlisted for ‘Innovation of the Year’ in the NCTJ Awards for Excellence. Launched at the start of the 17/18 season, the...
