°×С½ãÂÛ̳’s Plan, developed in accordance with OfS guidance and in consultation with °×С½ãÂÛ̳ departments and faculties, Students’ Union °×С½ãÂÛ̳ and the student body, sets out the changes the university will make to support underrepresented students both to apply to °×С½ãÂÛ̳ and to achieve as well as all other students in their degree.
