Introduction This Access Agreement sets out Falmouth University’s plans and targets to support access, student success and progression for the year 2018-19. This Agreement has been developed in the context of the University’s Strategic Plan for the period 2015 to 2020. The Strategic Plan’s key objectives reflect the University’s commitment to fair access across the student lifecycle. Our first objective is ‘to produce satisfied graduates who get great jobs’, which includes ambitious targets for student retention, student satisfaction and graduate employment. Our second objective is ‘to help grow Cornwall’, which includes a commitment to double the number of students recruited from the county from 2013-14 levels by 2020. This objective will be achieved through a sharpened focus on recruiting students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The Strategic Plan states: ‘We will work with other agencies in the region to build support systems to retain more of our creative talent for the benefit of Cornwall. This will include access and outreach work, and recruitment of students from Cornwall’s higher education ‘cold spots’ … We also believe that raising aspirations and prioritising access to higher education is an essential component of growing Cornwall. As the number of student places per head of population is lower than the national average, we will work with further and higher education partners to improve participation in the region.’ Our third objective, ‘to expand and diversify what we do’, reflects our commitment to offer a greater range of subjects, and to make our courses available in new modes, including flexible, blended and online delivery. Our ‘whole institution’ approach to fair access is secured in the University’s Learning, Teaching and Employability Strategy, a key supporting strategy behind the Strategic Plan. As part of the University’s strategic commitment ‘to expand and diversify what we do’, the University has developed a range of academic programmes with collaborative partners. As these programmes are established we will work with the partners to put in place appropriate investment and activity to support fair access, student success and progression. 1b. Office for Fair Access priorities for 2018-19 This Access Agreement builds on the University’s OFFA-approved Access Agreement for 2017- 18, which was a substantial revision of previous agreements, and introduced a range of new targets for fair access, student success, and progression. For easy reference, the following table summarises the sections of the new Agreement which address OFFA’s additional priorities for 2018-19: Table 1: OFFA priorities for 2018-19 OFFA priority Falmouth University Access Agreement response and page reference (a) Increase your work to raise Significant increase in partnerships and strategic attainment in schools and relationships with schools in Cornwall under the ‘Falmouth Page 3 of 18 OFFA priority Falmouth University Access Agreement response and page reference colleges for those from Creative’ outreach programme. disadvantaged and under- represented groups, including See section 3(ii), pages 6 to 10. through outreach and/or strategic relationships (b) Further increase your An increase in access activity investment, driven by higher investment in access activity, in student numbers and retaining an access agreement spend order to accelerate progress in at of 22.5% of higher fee income. the participation of higher education entrants from under- See section 2, pages 5-6. represented and disadvantaged groups (c) Ensure complementarity The NCOP Outreach Officer (a HEFCE funded post) is a between your access member of the Access Agreement working group, and is agreement plans and the working closely with the Schools Development Project National Collaborative Officer to ensure that the University’s Cornwall outreach Outreach Programme (NCOP) and recruitment plans are complementary to the NCOP and Opportunity Areas programme.

Further details of relevant student support programmes can be found in section 3(ix), on page 13. 2. Fees, student numbers and fee income Falmouth intends to charge the maximum allowable fee per annum for all its undergraduate courses to all full-time UK & EU students in 2018-19. For this Agreement, the exact fee will be determined by the Government’s assessment of the rate of inflation at the appropriate time. These fees were implemented in academic year 2012-13 (at the rate of £9,000 per annum from 2012-13 to 2016-17) and will not be charged to any students who commenced their studies before 2012-13. The fee will cover all assessed elements of awards. Falmouth University achieved year 1 of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), which enabled a tuition fee of £9,250 per year, and has submitted an application to year two of the TEF which, if the TEF is implemented, will dictate the maximum tuition fee for Higher Education Providers, based on a range of quality metrics. Page 5 of 18 Falmouth will direct 22.5% of higher fee income into fair access activities and targeted financial support, details of which are set out below. The overall division of expenditure across direct financial support, access, student success, and progression, are maintained at the same rates established for 2017-18, following a decision to reduce direct financial support for 2017- 18, in accordance with OFFA research and guidance regarding the effectiveness of this category of expenditure. The proposals for 2018-19 see an increase in investment in access activity across the undergraduate cohort, driven by higher student numbers and retaining an access agreement spend of 22.5%

  • 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.

  • Stacking Chairs: Local Sense and Global Nonsense
    Short and Sweet i-Perception Stacking Chairs: Local Sense January-February 2018, 1–5 ! The Author(s) 2018 DOI: 10.1177/2041669517752372 and Global Nonsense journals.sagepub.com/home/ipe Nicholas E. Scott-Samuel University of Bristol, UK Hiroshi Ashida Kyoto University, Japan P. George Lovell University of Abertay Dundee, School of Social and Health Sciences, UK Tim S. Meese Aston University, School of Life and Health Sciences, Birmingham, UK D. Samuel Schwarzkopf University College London, UK Abstract We report a confusing stimulus which demonstrates the power of local interpretation of three- dimensional structure to disrupt a coherent global perception. Keywords 3D perception, depth, perception, illusion Figure 1 shows a photograph of nine stackable chairs, leaning back at an angle against a wall. For all observers (n ¼ 40þ, recruited ad hoc via Facebook, where the stimulus was displayed), this image elicits confusion. If the number of chairs is reduced below four, the effect disappears. Figure 2(a) is an annotated version of Figure 1. The local interpretation of three-dimensional structure – at each ‘corner’, i.e. AD, BC and EF – is generally unambiguous (apart from AD, which flips in depth in a Necker-cube-like manner for some observers). But the repetition of the stacked elements along the virtual contours AD, BC and, to a lesser extent, EF suggests a change in depth along those lines which does not actually exist. Figure 2(b) makes this explicit: an abstracted version of the image reveals an alternative interpretation, which fails to correspond to reality – the repetitive structure now looks more like a stack of quadrilaterals rising from the ground plane.
