Welsh higher education institutions will be awarded an extra £8 million over the next two years after opposition leaders this week forced the Assembly to revise its budget.

An additional £3 million will be deployed for the Assembly's Aiming Higher agenda, which includes support for mergers and strategic collaboration between institutions.
