Access and Student Success Strategy
Find out what progress we are making towards a fairer university through our Access and Student Success Strategy 2020 to 2025 (PDF).
The strategy is set out across four pillars of the student lifecycle: Access, Continuation, Attainment and Progression. Our fifth pillar, Enablers, outlines where we focus our efforts to support the successful delivery of the strategy.
Read our Access and Student Success Annual Report 2022 to 2023 (accessible PDF, 6MB) to find out how much progress we made against the Strategy in the 2022/23 academic year.
