Access and Student Success Strategy
Our vision: The 映客直播 – where all students can thrive and succeed.
We’ve now completed delivery of our Access and Student Success Strategy 2020–2025, which helped shape a more equitable experience for students across the University.
Looking ahead, we’re preparing to launch our new Access and Student Success Strategy for 2025–2030. This next phase builds on our progress and introduces a refreshed set of priorities that reflect the evolving needs of our students and the wider sector.
Over the next five years, we will:
- Develop lifelong learning provision to enable access and skills development at all stages of the educational journey.
- Strengthen existing programmes to enable access and retain diverse communities of students.
- Build strong and supportive relationships to enhance belonging, improve outcomes, and equip students for success at university and beyond.
- Proactively engage and support students to achieve academic success.
More information will be available shortly as we launch the new 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.
