RE: Grants of up to £few-thousand  You forwarded this message on Fri 16/04/2021 10:33 Maria Kambouri <m.kambouri@reading.ac.uk> Fri 16/04/2021 10:07 Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to apply for funding in order to be able to (develop) and deliver some more optional modules for students on the Education Studies programme. We recently lost 2 optional module because of staffing and budget savings and students are left feeling very disappointed as they don’t have many options left (2 for year 2 and 2 for year 3). I have got multiple emails from students asking why we have only these options. I was wondering if we could apply for funding for example to get an external (or give more hours to a part time member of staff) that would be able to deliver the 2 modules we lost and perhaps even develop some new ones for the future. For some reason I cannot access the website (https://thefriends.org.uk/grants) to check if something like this would be possible. Thank you very much in advance.
