  • Staffordshire University Access Agreement 2018-19
    STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY ACCESS AGREEMENT 2018-19 Introduction 1. Staffordshire University has developed an ambitious new statement of its strategy, expressed in its Strategic Plan 2016-2020 approved by the Board of Governors in September 2016. In the section on Connecting Communities, the plan states that the University will: work with our Schools, Colleges and Partners to continue to RAISE ASPIRATIONS and improve progression in the region into Higher Education be connected LOCALLY contributing to local social and economic development and to improve the local education standards of our community offer flexible, inclusive and ACCESSIBLE COURSES supporting study anytime and anywhere. 2. These strong statements of intent direct the University’s approach to widening participation in higher education and to the promotion of social mobility. The refreshed approach is described in this 2018-19 Access Agreement. As the new statement of strategic direction was approved after the 2017-18 Access Agreement was submitted, there have been certain changes of emphasis and balance between this Access Agreement and the previous one. 3. To ensure a coherent high quality experience for all students at each stage of their education, the University has established the Student Journey programme, described in more detail later. It spans the range from outreach and recruitment through transition to University, retention of those recruited, supporting academic success and the development of wider employability attributes leading to employment or further study. These stages fully align with the access, student success and progression dimensions of the OFFA guidance. 4. The University has established a wide network of partner institutions, including local sixth form and further education colleges and through those partnerships is able to provide flexible and diverse routes to higher education.

  • Entrepreneurial Intent on Induction to Undergraduate Business Courses: a Comparison of Two Higher Education Institutions in the UK
    Entrepreneurial Intent on Induction to Undergraduate Business Courses: A Comparison of Two Higher Education Institutions in the UK. Lead author: Dr Peter McLuskie Co-authors: Dr Charlotte Cary, Dr Kelly Smith, Dr Tom Williamson, Dr Susan Sisay Abstract Topic This study explores Entrepreneurial Intent (EI) in undergraduate students on induction across two UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) at the transition point between secondary and tertiary education levels. Aim The aim of this study is to explore patterns of self-reported EI in new undergraduate Business students from two UK HEIs. This study builds on previous research at Coventry University (Williamson and Wick 2013 and Smith et al 2017) in order to see if the high EI rates recorded at Coventry University are replicated across other institutions. It reports on the response of students from two UK HEI Business Schools (Coventry and Birmingham City University – BCU), entering undergraduate study in 2018. The study will compare data collected during induction week, before any formal teaching has commenced. Findings The study confirms findings from previous studies and demonstrates that students from both institutions recorded higher than normal levels of EI. However, there were several differences between the student responses from the two institutions and these are discussed later in the paper. Contribution This study explores the EI of students during the university induction period in the moment prior to starting their formal HE studies. This period of undergraduate study has been relatively ignored in the wider field of EI and can help shed light on the shifting aspirations of students as they progress through HEI.

  • West Midlands
    West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges. There are an additional 41 further education colleges with students taking higher education courses. All nine Staffordshire FECs offering HE courses have joined a funding consortium of 12 institutions led by Staffordshire University. The higher education student population is over 127,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students.

  • Rising to Real World Challenges – from the Lab to Changing Lives
    The Universities of the West Midlands. Rising to real world challenges – from the lab to changing lives. 1 Rising to real world challenges – from the lab to changing lives How the Universities of the West Midlands are coming together to realise the grand challenges facing the UK and the world Introduction Universities are economic engines contributing £2.9 billion GVA to the West Midlands and creating 55,000 jobs (directly and indirectly) across all skills levels. While many are recognised for their impact in talent and innovation generated through teaching and research, it can be difficult to understand the link between the work happening in their institutions and how it will affect everyday lives. The Universities of the West Midlands – Aston University, Birmingham City University, Coventry University, University of Birmingham, University of Warwick and the University of Wolverhampton – have come together to demonstrate how they are making their mark by rising to the grand challenges set out by the Government. Addressing these challenges will improve people’s lives and influence productivity. The Universities are providing life-changing solutions to make us healthier, wealthier and more productive. Their research and development reaches far beyond the laboratory and lecture theatre, creating real-world solutions to the grand challenges. Each university makes a unique contribution to specialist sectors within the West Midlands’ economy. It is their collective strength that makes the region distinctive in its ability to accelerate business growth and innovation. 2 The West Midlands Local Industrial Strategy Building on the strengths and research specialisms of its universities, the West Midlands is set to unveil a trailblazing Local Industrial Strategy.

  • London Weighting Claim for 2019 Submitted by UNISON, UCU and UNITE to Kings’ College London
    London Weighting Claim For 2019 Submitted by UNISON, UCU and UNITE to Kings’ College London 1. Introduction This LW claim is submitted by UNISON, UCU and UNITE on behalf of staff working for Kings’ College London. The claim is set at a level that we believe recognises the following key points: Major increases in the cost of living in London over recent years have significantly reduced the value of staff wages; Appropriate reward is needed to sustain the morale and productivity of staff working and living in London in their crucial role of delivering high quality services; Appropriate reward is needed for the increased workload and stress placed on staff against a background of uncertainty; Average LW settlements across the economy have been running ahead of those received by Kings’ College London staff over recent years, increasing the likelihood of retention problems in the long term; Kings’ College London is falling behind the rate recommended by Trust For London. 2. Summary of the Claim We are seeking a £1,500 increase on the LW from £3,500 as per August 2019 to £5,000. 3. Background to the claim Kings’ College University London Weighting (LW) was frozen at £2,323 from 1992 until a joint trade union campaign required KCL to address the issue in 2016. The Joint Trade Union claim in 2016 was for an im- mediate uplift in London Weighting to £4,000. After a series of negotiation meetings, KCL made a final offer that would see LW rise in stages (From 1st August 2016 it increased to £2,623 per year, and subsequently every 1st August of each consecutive year - 2017 to £2,923, 2018 to £3,223, and the final increment will be in 1st August 2019 increasing to £3,500).

    UK UNIVERSITY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RANKING 2020 Institution: University of Greenwich Location Of IP Policy: Click Here Ease Of Finding Document: Medium Current Tier: Tier 2 TIER 2 - CRITERIA A university-wide IP policy exists and is retrievable and downloadable, sometimes with a medium degree of difficulty, following a Google search using natural language and keyword combinations such as ‘UniName IP policy’ or ‘UniName intellectual property policy’. Some of the retrieved policies are unusually short (only 2 to 4 pages). Although the policy is exceptionally clear as to students’ IP ownership rights, it also includes IP policies for staff, academic visitors and other persons engaged with the university. Nonetheless, the students’ IP provisions of the IP policy may be viewed as a stand-alone section.
