  • 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.

CURVE is the Institutional Repository for Coventry University http://curve.coventry.ac.uk/open The Design and Development of Microcab Michael Tovey, CEPAD, Coventry University, UK Abstract The combination of the global economic crisis and the issues associated with reducing our carbon consumption has made the Microcab project both timely and relevant. The company is essentially a spin-out from Coventry University’s design expertise. The project has been to design, develop and test a sequence of vehicles for urban transport using low carbon hydrogen fuel cell technology. The key process issue is whether a relatively straight forward and familiar design process can be followed up successfully by a design product evolution and testing programme which is complex. Its complexity is in its dependence on various funding sources, in its engagement with a changing array of development partners, and in its relationship to a number of public sector programmes.
