    Falmouth University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 Introduction Falmouth University (Falmouth) is an anchor institution in Cornwall, fully engaged with the County’s economic, skills and enterprise agendas. The University makes a significant contribution to delivering higher skills to the county, alongside documented employment and economic benefits. Falmouth is committed to ensuring that students from all backgrounds can benefit from a Falmouth education, which facilitates their successful introduction to and participation in local and wider employment markets. Falmouth believes that it has a unique opportunity to ‘bridge’ the specialist creative disciplines to broader school subjects, as well as providing the benefits of studying at a smaller provider. Broadening this ambition locally and nationally, particular in the most deprived areas, is a priority. This is part of a commitment to sector priorities, and advocacy for the creating and performing arts as critically valuable education and career pathways for the future economy. This is enshrined in the Falmouth 2030 Strategy. As confirmed by its ‘Gold’ Teaching Excellence Framework award, Falmouth meets the highest standards for teaching quality, student retention, and graduate outcomes. While these standards provide an excellent foundation for success, Falmouth has set a vision for continuous improvement across the student lifecycle. The University’s ambitions over the coming years are to further understand and improve performance in areas that have also been highlighted as priorities at the national level, and address gaps in access and attainment for its target students. 1 Assessment of performance Falmouth University campuses are situated in Penryn and Falmouth, in Cornwall. The county is coastal, largely rural and 1 has a population of 536,000 dispersed across the region.

An assessment of the range of risks to the continuation of study for your students, how those risks may differ based on your students’ needs, characteristics and circumstances, and the likelihood that those risks will crystallise BPP University (BPPU) has assessed the range of risks to students’ continuation of study and these are summarised below: 1.1 Closure of BPPU BPPU has no intention of ceasing to operate. The risk that BPPU as a whole is unable to operate is considered very low. This is evidenced by the following: BPPU is financially sustainable and continues to be a going concern as demonstrated by its most recent audited financial statements, dated August 31st 2020; BPPU is cash generative, with a positive cash flow of £5.1m in the year ending 31st August 2020 and a balance at that date of £19.5m; BPPU forms part of the BPP Group (incorporated as BPP Holdings Ltd). Cashflow actuals and forecasts are monitored on a daily basis by the BPP Group’s central treasury function. The focus is on 18-week cash flow forecasts and updates are made to key stakeholders as required. The minimum UK cash position of the Group from Mar20 to Mar21 was £11.5m, which was in March20.
