As the financial year comes to an end, many university departments face a familiar situation: remaining budget that must be spent before the deadline or it disappears. The “use it or lose it” principle means that if funds aren’t allocated within the current financial year, they often return to central budgets and may not be available again.
For research teams and academic departments, this is often a good time to complete outstanding tasks. Many projects generate hours of recordings from interviews, focus groups, seminars and meetings that still need to be transcribed before analysis can begin. Using remaining budget to have this material professionally transcribed ensures the work is ready for the next stage of research.
University Transcriptions has been supporting academics and research teams since 2001, providing accurate human transcription for universities across the UK and internationally. Our team understands the needs of academic projects and regularly works with departments handling qualitative research, PhD studies and funded research programmes.
We are also very familiar with university purchasing systems, including purchase orders and departmental invoicing, which makes it easy for research teams to commission transcription work before year-end.
If your department has budget that needs to be allocated before the financial year closes, commissioning transcription now can help move your project forward while making full use of available funds.
