The Scottish Funding Council does not allocate specific amounts of funding for podiatry. Podiatry falls within the Scottish Funding Council’s Other Health and Welfare funding subject group. The funding for Other Health and Welfare excludes funding for nursing and midwifery pre-registration provision that is controlled.
The Scottish Funding Council allocates a gross amount of funding to each funding subject group for each level of study (taught postgraduate, undergraduate) dependent on the number of funded places allocated to the group and the unit of resource for the group. For each institution, an estimate of the amount of tuition fee income associated with an institution’s total allocation of funded places is removed from the gross funding for teaching to obtain the allocations of Main Teaching Grant.
Institutions are not expected to match their allocations of funding per funding subject group in terms of their spend on teaching provision. Also institutions have certain flexibility in terms of how they use their allocations of funded places. Institutions might not end up with as much provision as their allocation of funded places in one subject area but instead might have more provision than funded places in another subject area.
The total gross funding for teaching for each university excludes funding for any strategic places funded through the Scottish Funding Council’s Horizon Fund and for any additional places funded by the Scottish Government.
