Birdi1 and Helen E. Higson2 1 School of Life and Health, Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2 Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, United Kingdom Ethnic minority groups have been shown to obtain poorer final year degree outcomes than their majority group counterparts in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. Obtaining a lower degree classification may limit future employment prospects of graduates as well as opportunities for higher level study. To further investigate this achievement gap, we analyzed performance levels across three academic years of study of 3,051 Black, Asian and White students from a United Kingdom University. Analyses of covariance investigated effects of ethnicity and work placement experience (internships) on first, second and final year marks, whilst statistically controlling for a number of factors thought to influence achievement, including prior academic performance. Results demonstrated superior achievement of Edited by: White students consistently across all years of study. Placement experience reduced, Dilly Fung, University College London, but did not eliminate, the size of the achievement gap exhibited by final year students. United Kingdom Sex, parental education and socioeconomic status had no significant main effects. Reviewed by: Female students showed a more complex pattern of results than males, with Black Liz Thomas, females not showing the same final year uplift in marks as their Asian and White Edge Hill University, United Kingdom Sharinaz Hassan, counterparts.
