Question:
To ask the Minister for Employment and Learning what correspondence he has had with the University of Ulster on deploying student places from Coleraine to Magee, in order to meet the ‘One Plan’ target.

Answer:

I have on several occasions mentioned publicly and in correspondence that the University of Ulster is at liberty to deploy its MaSN allocation across its campuses as it sees fit. I have asked the University to consider moving places to the Magee campus in order to help achieve the One Plan interim target of 1,000 additional undergraduate places by 2015. However, I have not suggested from which campus the places should be moved as that is a matter entirely for the University.
