One of the UK’s newest higher education providers is hoping to convince unhappy students to join it from other institutions by offering to pay their accommodation costs.
Hereford’s New Model in Technology & Engineering (NMITE) has launched “switcher bursaries” to target students dissatisfied with their chosen course who wish to move part way through.
Up to £5,000 is available to pay off any outstanding accommodation costs and fees connected to an old provider if a student wishes to terminate a year-long tenancy agreement early with their private landlord or hall or residence.
The institution is also offering up to £7,500 towards accommodation costs for their first year of study at NMITE.
