Who pays for a £500m campus?

A project of this scale, costing £500m, typically involves a mix of funding sources. Universities often use their own reserves, secure government grants, and attract private donations or investments. Sometimes, they also take out loans. The aim is to ensure the long term financial viability and success of such a significant development.
