  Material uncertainty over going concern

Going concern

Material uncertainty disclosed

“The uncertainty over the level of students/fee income and the receipt of the full funding required indicates that a material uncertainty exists which may cast doubt on the ability of the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, although the accounts continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “We have seen a huge decline in international student recruitment during the year, with several programmes not running due to insufficient recruitment. That meant income from tuition fees has dropped by almost 60% during the year.”
• “The biggest challenge was the changes in the funding regime from our sponsors in Dubai. Following the dissolution of the Al-Maktoum Foundation early in 2024 and the transfer of all its activities, including the responsibility for funding the College, to another charitable foundation (MBRCH), we have experienced severe delays and disruption to our funding.”
