  • University of Reading Access and Participation Plan 1. Assessment of Performance
    University of Reading Access and participation plan 2020/1 to 2024/5 The University of Reading (UoR) is a research-intensive university with a world-class reputation for teaching, research and enterprise. We are a global institution with students from around 150 countries enrolled on our programmes, and an increasing number of international teaching partnerships as well as branch campuses in Malaysia, China and South Africa. Our broad portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes covers the arts, humanities, business, sciences and social sciences. We regularly update and improve our programmes as new ideas emerge, and industry and student needs change. Our ongoing investment in staff and teaching and learning facilities of the highest quality ensures that our students are challenged to achieve their full potential while at University and are well prepared for the wider world when they leave. Our aim is to provide opportunities to those who are equipped to benefit irrespective of background or personal circumstance. The UoR is committed to access and participation and recognises that, although our student population has diversified over the past five years in terms of ethnicity and disability, our current student population disproportionately represents the more advantaged parts of society. Our track record for retaining students once enrolled is however strong (96.3%1 in 2017/8), degree outcomes gaps are narrowing and 94.9%2 of our 2017 graduates were in employment or study within six months of graduating. Of those who enter full-time work, 83.1%3 found employment in professional or managerial roles. This plan reviews our access and participation performance over the period 2012/3 to 2017/8 (the most recent available validated dataset), sets out our access and participation ambitions and objectives, the measures we will take to improve and maintain access and participation and the specific targets for improvement.
