  • Falmouth University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25
    Falmouth University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 Introduction Falmouth University (Falmouth) is an anchor institution in Cornwall, fully engaged with the County’s economic, skills and enterprise agendas. The University makes a significant contribution to delivering higher skills to the county, alongside documented employment and economic benefits. Falmouth is committed to ensuring that students from all backgrounds can benefit from a Falmouth education, which facilitates their successful introduction to and participation in local and wider employment markets. Falmouth believes that it has a unique opportunity to ‘bridge’ the specialist creative disciplines to broader school subjects, as well as providing the benefits of studying at a smaller provider. Broadening this ambition locally and nationally, particular in the most deprived areas, is a priority. This is part of a commitment to sector priorities, and advocacy for the creating and performing arts as critically valuable education and career pathways for the future economy. This is enshrined in the Falmouth 2030 Strategy. As confirmed by its ‘Gold’ Teaching Excellence Framework award, Falmouth meets the highest standards for teaching quality, student retention, and graduate outcomes. While these standards provide an excellent foundation for success, Falmouth has set a vision for continuous improvement across the student lifecycle. The University’s ambitions over the coming years are to further understand and improve performance in areas that have also been highlighted as priorities at the national level, and address gaps in access and attainment for its target students. 1 Assessment of performance Falmouth University campuses are situated in Penryn and Falmouth, in Cornwall. The county is coastal, largely rural and 1 has a population of 536,000 dispersed across the region.

The Water Informatics in Science and Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training (WISE CDT) offers a postgraduate programme that fosters enhanced levels of innovation and collaboration by training a cohort of engineers and scientists at the boundary of water informatics, science and engineering. The WISE CDT was established in 2014 with funding from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) amongst the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter. 20 The WISE CDT will ultimately graduate over 80 PhD candidates trained in a non-traditional 4-year UK doctoral programme that integrates teaching and research elements in close collaboration with a range of industrial partners. WISE focuses on cohort-based education and equips the PhD candidates with a wide range of skills developed through workshops and other activities to maximise candidate abilities and experiences.

  • Access and Participation Plan 2019/20
    Annex A - 2019-20 access and participation plan University of St Mark & St John (Plymouth Marjon University) 2019-20 access and participation plan Introduction This document covers how Plymouth Marjon University helps disadvantaged groups to access, succeed in and progress from higher education. For each of these areas, it covers an assessment of current performance, and then moves into our ambitions for these areas and the plans we will deliver in 2019-20. Forecast spend, targets and milestones for the five years up to 2022-23 are on the appended spreadsheets. Assessment of current performance Assessment in the area of Widening Access 1. Plymouth Marjon University (University of St Mark & St John) has championed equality of access to higher education throughout its 180-year history. Assessment of current performance in widening access, which draws on a range of statistical indicators and provider-level data, including the UCAS multiple equality measure (MEM), highlights the University’s on-going success in reducing gaps in participation among students from areas of low higher education progression and low socio-economic backgrounds, as well as mature and disabled students. Students from POLAR 3 neighbourhoods, low household income and/or low socio- economic status backgrounds 2. The University continues to perform well against HESA benchmark and location-adjusted benchmarks in attracting young full-time degree entrants from state schools, low participation neighbourhoods (i.e. POLAR3 quintile 1) and low socio-economic backgrounds. Taking 2011 as the baseline year of entry (i.e. the year prior to the introduction of fees at the higher rate of £9000 per annum) state sector admissions have risen by 1.0 percentage point to 97.7%.

    Bath Spa University 2019-20 access and participation plan Assessment of current performance The following summary of the assessment of the University’s current performance in access, retention and attainment of underrepresented groups is based on the analysis of internal data, University and College Admissions Service (UCAS) End of Cycle data, absolute and relative performance in Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA) widening participation UK performance indicator data and Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) metrics for undergraduate students, and the Post Graduate Certificate in Education Initial Teacher Training (PGCE ITT) trainee number census for groups currently underrepresented in the teaching profession. The assessment of performance in student progression is based on an analysis of HESA Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey (DLHE) data and PGCE ITT destination data. For all measures based on 2016/17 or 2015/16 HESA performance indicator data, the university performed at sector average. The analysis is summarised in Table 1. Overview Access Between 2012 and 2017 the university’s offer rate for June deadline applications (all ages) increased from 62.8% to 83.4% and for young applications from 70.2% to 87.8%.1 The gender gap in offer rate for male and female all age applicants narrowed from -8.9 percentage points in 2012 to +0.5 of a percentage point in 2017, and for young male and female applicants narrowed from -7.2 percentage points in 2012 to +0.9 of a percentage point in 2017.1 Internal analysis of 2016/17 undergraduate registration data showed that 44% were classified as from NS-SEC 4-8 occupational backgrounds and, where disclosed, 32% came from backgrounds where there was no parental experience of higher education.
