Summary
The UK government, through Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, has announced that performing and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from the Strategic Priorities Grant (SBG) starting in 2026/27. This decision is part of spending "trade-offs" and will also affect other subjects like archaeology, geography, nursing, and computing. Phillipson acknowledged the decision would be "challenging" for the affected fields.
