We deliverÌýinitiatives and provideÌýresources for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø 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 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s Access and Participation Plan. The Office currently works to support UK undergraduate students who belong to at least one of the following groups:

• Access Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø students
• Disabled students
• Mature students
• Care experienced and estranged students

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
