This discussion paper, written by Professor Simon Gaskell and Professor Rebecca Lingwood, concerns the influence of socio-economic background on graduate success.
The paper focuses explicitly on the notion of a 'third phase' of widening opportunity to supplement widening access and the optimisation of academic achievement regardless of socio-economic background.
The paper concludes with a set of recommendations for universities and employers to address the challenge of the continuing effect of socio-economic background on graduate success, and emphasises the need for rigorous evaluation of success.
