First-year Student Retention
The Institute for
Access Studies has been involved in researching student retention and
success, and it is from this work that this document emerges. Relevant
research includes:
- Research with students at Staffordshire University who have persisted in higher education
- Six institutional case studies, in institutions with high levels of "widening participation" students and good rates of retention and completion, examining policy and practices to support students to succeed. (Commissioned by HEFCE, and undertaken with Professor Mantz Yorke and Maggie Woodrow).
- A further 10 institutional case studies examining ways in which institutions with higher rates of withdrawal have tackled the problems. (On behalf of HEFCE / Action on Access, with Professor Geoff Layer, Professor Mantz Yorke and Angela Srivastavna).
- National research for UUK/DfES examining the role of student services in supporting diversity and success.
- International retention project, working with ten partners examining alternative policies and practical approaches to supporting student success.
