The University of Nottingham recorded an adjusted deficit of £85.3 million in 2024/25, largely due to falling international student numbers and major asset impairments. To survive financially without relying on imported international students, the university must focus on domestic growth, cost control, and revenue diversification.
Key measures include expanding home student recruitment through more accessible programmes, online and distance learning, and partnerships with colleges — all within current tuition fee caps. It should grow research income via grants, industry collaborations, and commercial spin-offs. Its international campuses in China and Malaysia can continue generating transnational education revenue without bringing students to the UK.
Significant cost savings are essential through staff restructuring, course rationalisation, estate consolidation (including potential campus sales), and administrative efficiencies. These steps form part of the university’s “Future Nottingham” programme. Longer-term strategies involve increasing philanthropy, alumni donations, and executive education offerings.
While government reforms to domestic fees would help, true self-reliance demands leaner operations and stronger non-tuition income streams.

Force required to operate the plunger on a French press coffee pot
Statement of Financial Position: 378 £ million | Standards Scotland

The French press is a popular device for brewing coffee, comprising a cylindrical beaker—or “jug”—fitted with a lid and plunger with a fine wire mesh filter. The plunger is used to drive the solid coffee particles to the bottom of the jug, separating these grounds from hot liquid above. When using the French press in this way, a growing permeable pack of ground coffee is pushed through hot water by applying force to the plunger. We use a combination of kitchen-based and laboratory experiments to determine the force required to push on the plunger as a function of the speed of the plunger and the mass of coffee used. We calculate that for the recommended preparation method, the maximum force is 32 N to complete the pressing action in 50 s. We propose that home coffee preparation provides a fun, low-cost, and relatable learning opportunity for students and for those who are interested in coffee science.

Abiit sed non oblita
“Whom the gods love, die young.”
Menander (341-290 BCE)
“My mother was a Protestant, of a traditional American, vague kind: she belonged to the church that the nice people in the neighbourhood went to. My wife is a Catholic, the kids are Catholic, so I’m a Catholic fellow-traveller.”

“Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.”
“America wasn’t founded so that we could all be better. America was founded so we could all be anything we damned well pleased.”

“Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
“It’s better to spend money like there’s no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there’s no money.”
“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”
“If government were a product, selling it would be illegal.”
“The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.”
“Not much was really invented during the Renaissance, if you don’t count modern civilization.”
“No humorist is under any obligation to provide answers and probably if you were to delve into the literary history of humour it’s probably all about not providing answers because the humorist essentially says: this is the way things are.”
