  • Chancellor's Commission Essay Competition
    Chancellor’s Commission Essay Competition: The University of Warwick – Supporting, Inspiring and Engaging a Region The University of Warwick finds itself nestled in a region to which it can lend its powerful skillset. The area that this essay will be focusing on in particular will be the West Midlands, especially Birmingham and Coventry, and Warwickshire. This essay will also draw upon my own views as I believe a personal opinion can help to shed light on some of the ways Warwick University could positively help its local community. Issues to be discussed will include challenges facing young people, greener living through sustainability, rural economy, and the current issue of the construction of ‘High Speed 2’ (known as HS2). Firstly, however, this essay will focus on housing. Housing has been ranked as the most urgent issue in need of address for local councils in a recent survey1. Speaking to local MP Mr Chris White, of Warwick and Leamington constituency, he observed more people in need of houses than there were houses to accommodate them2. Though housing issues face the whole nation, it can be argued that the Mr White’s constituency faces a more unique problem as he stated how the housing crisis is coupled with issues of congestion and public transport3. Many students can attest to these problems, with the latter appropriately summarised by Warwick University’s SU President in a recent open letter to Stagecoach4. Indeed, Mr White’s discussion of the background to the housing issue is punctuated by Warwickshire County Council’s community strategy plan for the next decade which states how “housing affordability is still an issue, particularly in certain parts of the County”5.

  • Research Bulletin Welcome
    Research Bulletin December 2018 Welcome This edition of our Research Bulletin comes at a time when the Office for Students (OFS) has just released its response to the recent consultation on Access and Participation Plans. The response is slightly worrying for providers of distance higher education (HE) for part-time learners in the sense that many of the metrics being adopted do not reflect the specific nature and behaviours of part-time adult learners. At a time when HE providers are being encouraged to support adult learners generally into HE, addressing the decline in part-time student numbers and widening participation, it is concerning that part-time adult learners are still being seen as additional to the traditional 18-21 year old student, rather than embedded within the HE system. On a more positive note, Dr Liz Marr will be taking up her interim PVC-Students position at the OU in January 2019. This is a new portfolio for the OU and we look forward to working with Liz in shaping widening access and participation and success within this new structure. Equally good news is that Liz was also elected President of the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) at its annual conference in October. Congratulations on both of these achievements Liz and we look forward to some exciting times ahead. As we move into 2019, the Widening Access and Success team here in Milton Keynes, are embarking on a significant programme of research, evaluation and scholarship to address and inform the objectives identified in our Access and Participation Plan, which is currently being reviewed by the OFS.

  • Dear Friend, Meeting to Discuss a Potential New Medical School Wednesday January 18Th at 5:45Pm Charles Hastings Building, Unive
    Professor David M A Green Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive Telephone: 01905 855123 e-mail: [email protected] Dear friend, Meeting to discuss a potential new Medical School Wednesday January 18th at 5:45pm Charles Hastings Building, University of Worcester City Campus, Infirmary Walk, Worcester, WR1 3AL I am writing to invite you to an exploratory, consultative meeting to discuss the potential and desirability of creating a new Medical School, based at the University of Worcester, and serving a wider region*. As you will know, this autumn, HM Secretary of State for Health announced the intention to create an additional 1500 places annually for the education and training of medical doctors from 2018 onwards. Following this announcement, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) wrote to me, to ask whether the University of Worcester had aspirations to deliver any of these places. After careful consideration by the University’s executive leadership and Board of Governors the University has informed HEFCE that we do wish to commit to creating a Medical School. This is a considerable undertaking, which will take a minimum of 3 years together with a great deal of hard work and expertise. Central to a successful application, will be the commitment and involvement of clinicians and partner institutions, as well as the capacity of the University and its staff. As the General Medical Council makes clear, a successful application by an Institution begins with an assessment of “the viability of its proposals, the expertise of its staff and its ability to provide adequate clinical experience for students.” This meeting is the first in a series of exploratory discussions with partners and interested individuals prior to the University submitting an application and has been particularly designed to help establish the appetite amongst the medical profession in this region for such a development.
