In the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic there are real concerns that the progress made by higher education in improving access to higher education and student success may be eroded.
It is more imperative than ever that we give everyone an equal opportunity to access higher education, and strive to remove all barriers to student success. Now entering its 10th year, the annual Access to higher education and student success summit is dedicated to all issues related to access and participation in higher education. It is run in partnership between Universities UK and Action on Access.
Why should you attend?
Universities are under intense financial constraints. Under these circumstances, how can we ensure that access and student success remains on the agenda, and make the most of existing networks and resources? This conference will give you the opportunity to receive up-to-date briefings on the current issues and regulation surrounding widening participation and student success, as well as an opportunity to discuss with experts and colleagues on how best to drive student access and success.
Who should attend?
This conference is essential for staff who have responsibility for or play a part in improving attainment, retention and student success. Anyone with an interest in the topic is welcome to attend, however particularly relevant job titles include:
