Funding per pupil at UK universities

This graph shows how much the UK’s top 50 universities by teaching funding (actually the top 49 plus the University of York) spend per student. The figures are again from 2009/10 and 2008/09. The darker blue shows those who receive relatively little funding (c. £2,000 per student) – such as Leeds Met, UEL, and Warwick – and the light blue shows those who receive twice as much – Imperial and Queen Mary.

Oxbridge’s ability to set far more work than other Russell Group universities seems to have little to do with its HEFCE grant – their funding per pupil is quite ordinary.
