Exploring the impact of ethnicity on access, success & progression to higher education

Online

Members only

Part of our NERUPI series focused on specific student groups highlighted by the Office for Students through their Equalities of Opportunities Risk Register. A specific cluster of risks affect the participation of minority ethnic groups, particularly those identified as ‘black’ or ‘mixed’. These include quality of information and guidance, perceptions of HE, lower application success rates, insufficient academic and personal support, mental health issues and progression to employment. This session will provide an overview of the OfS approach, considering the strengths and limitations of the categories and risk-based system.
