  • Annual Admissions Statistical Report 2019
    ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT May 2019 2019 | UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD ANNUAL ADMISSIONS STATISTICAL REPORT Foreword For the third year in a row Oxford has been ranked the best university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Ranking. Unsurprisingly, therefore, competition for an undergraduate place at Oxford is intense and becomes more so every year. In 2018 over 21,500 students applied for one of the 3,300 places in the entering class, an increase in applications of over 4,000 in the past five years. In the pages that follow we present a detailed breakdown of those who applied to every college and hall in every subject for the past five years. We analyse the applications by academic achievement, by region, race and socio-economic background, as well as by disability and gender. Last year we made a commitment to publish this data annually. We do so in an effort to track our progress ourselves but also to try to demystify the somewhat unusual admissions process. Above all, we do so to demonstrate our commitment to transparency. From first glance at this data it is immediately apparent that Oxford University reflects the deep inequalities in our society along socio-economic, regional and ethnic lines. It must also be apparent, even to the most cynical observer, that we are making progress. The numbers are low, the pace is slow, but the trajectory is clear – the number of students admitted to Oxford from deprived backgrounds is steadily increasing. It was precisely because of our concern that the pace of change was too slow that this year we are increasing the size of our flagship summer programme, UNIQ, by 50% to 1,375 school pupils.

  • CIE0581 Written Evidence Submitted by the University of Cambridge
    CIE0581 Written evidence submitted by the University of Cambridge University of Cambridge submission to the Education Select Committee inquiry into the impact of Covid-19 on education and children’s services Submitted on behalf of the University of Cambridge by: Professor Graham Virgo QC, Senior Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education). 30th September 2020 Introduction 1. At all times during the Covid-19 pandemic, our top priority has been to protect the health and safety of our students and staff. The University has acted in line with official Public Health guidance and statutory requirements. We have welcomed the issuance of sector- specific guidance by DfE, BEIS and other Government departments; this has provided universities (and current and prospective students) with additional useful information. 2. The University has striven to provide the highest quality teaching and student support services throughout the pandemic. The social distancing requirements have forced us to be innovative in our approach and we have accelerated projects involving the digitisation of learning and teaching resources and remotely-accessible support services. Impact on school-age attainment 3. We have significant concerns about the long-term effect that lockdown and school closures will have on school-age pupils’ attainment over a number of years. We are keen to work with schools and the UK Government to see how we, and other HE institutions, can best support pupils who have faced educational disruption, and particularly where this disruption disproportionately affects young people who are already under-represented when it comes to higher education progression. 4. Further, we are increasingly concerned about the extent to which learning has been missed during 2020, with a significant impact on undergraduate entrants who are commencing courses in autumn 2020.

  • Developing Key Skills in a Traditional University Lesley Macdonald
    Developing key skills in a traditional university Lesley MacDonald Summary A snapshot of how one research-led, traditional university is approaching the development of students' key skills. Biography Lesley MacDonald is Staff Development Adviser in the Centre for Learning, Teaching and Research in Higher Education in the School of Education at the University of Durham, where she has worked for the past eleven years. Previously with the Council for Educational Technology, she has been involved in educational development for nearly twenty years. Keywords Transferable skills, key skills, QAA Ancient history I know I've been in my job too long when I find myself thinking 'Hang on - haven't we been here before?' And indeed we have: in the early '90s when I was employed partly under the aegis of the University's Enterprise in Higher Education scheme, colleagues were talking about core or transferable skills and working for their development. The Employment Department Group's report Enterprise in Higher Education: the First Eleven (one of which was Durham) noted: What all the models had in common was an emphasis on development of what some called 'transferable skills'. These were skills which would make graduates more employable, but would also help them through their undergraduate days and in life beyond Higher Education and work. Examples of these skills were: communication, problem solving, team work, negotiation, self-assessment, use of initiative, creativity, entrepreneurship, reflection on experience, and leadership. Don't let your degree get in the way of your education Heading up one of Durham's Student Societies' Web pages is this healthy reminder that students arrive at university with a plurality of aims and interests.

  • 6. Constructing a Collegiate Compass
    MICHAEL EAMON 6. CONSTRUCTING A COLLEGIATE COMPASS Navigating Change in the Culturally-Constructed Collegiate University Fifty years ago the founders of Canada’s Trent University consciously chose to follow ‘the collegiate way’ as they planned a new institution of higher education. It was hoped that this model—part Oxbridge, part Durham in tradition—would bolster a fledgling university without a storied past of its own. The plan for Trent was ambitious. Over a dozen colleges were envisaged both downtown and on a 1400-acre parcel of land on the outskirts of the city. Indeed, establishing a fully- formed collegiate university was a bold decision in 1960s North America; let alone in Peterborough, a small, industrial city of 55,000 situated in rural Ontario.1 All collegiate institutions, and particular those that exist outside of the United Kingdom, are cultural constructions, blending a collegiate template with local educational traditions and expectations. Trent University has also been culturally constructed, or more accurately, is continually under construction as Canadian society and the landscape of higher education changes. Today, Trent University, like so many collegiate institutions, is at a crossroads. With each new generation of students there is a constant pressure to adapt and change the traditional aspects of college life. Pressure for change also comes from above where new practices in higher education—formed in the crucible of North American campus universities— continue to be telegraphed by university administrators onto collegiate structures often without regard for underlying differences, or unique collegiate functions. Yet, at what point does a collegiate university, transformed by both internal and external forces, lose its claim to collegiate status? Are college traditions once transformed, irrevocably lost? What happens when the proverbial honeymoon of a new university is over? While change is inevitable, it can be measured, balancing both traditional practice and modern realities.
