We deliverÌýinitiatives and provideÌýresources for °×С½ãÂÛ̳ staff and students toÌýcreateÌýculturalÌýand institutional change.
We focusÌýonÌýevaluation and research. We takeÌýan evidence-led approachÌýto facilitate success for student groups where there are unexplained gaps in degree outcomes.
Who we work with and why
Student Success initiatives are funded by °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s Access and Participation Plan. The Office currently works to support UK undergraduate students who belong to at least one of the following groups:
The Access and Participation Plan identifies three key barriers to success for these groups: students' wellbeing;Ìýsense of belonging; and their teaching and learning experience.Ìý
These barriers are interconnectedÌýand we aim to tackle these holistically and address awarding gaps, along with existing support services.Ìý
