Dear Publishers,
Please note that the HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England) have updated their site and as such, links to their site from University of Kent webpages may no longer work.
Please take some time to review any links you may have to the HEFCE websites, to ensure they still work.
The main differences from the old site are:
* the design is new
* the main sections now reflect HEFCE’s new business plan
* the layout and structure of pages has changed
* the site works better across different mobile devices.
The extranet is unaffected by these changes.
If your institution’s website links to HEFCE’s site there may be a need to update your site’s pages. See below for a breakdown of the new locations and contact us at websitefeedback@hefce.ac.uk if you have any questions or feedback.
