As a Catalyst for Change, Staffordshire University regularly reviews its performance in relation to access, continuation, completion, good degree attainment and graduate outcomes to ensure equality of opportunity.
Staffordshire University uses evidence-based approaches to support equality of opportunity. Our whole institution approach is supported by our cross-institutional access and participation steering board which ensures effective working.
Our priorities include:
- increasing access to higher education for students from specific Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds
- increasing access to higher education for care leavers
- increasing access to higher education for students from low socio-economic backgrounds
- reducing the awarding gap for students from low socio-economic and low participation backgrounds
- reducing the awarding gap between Black and white students
- reducing the awarding gap between mature and young students
A full list of our priorities, enabling actions and targeted interventions can be found in our access and participation plan.
