  • Our action plan for opportunity: making the difference for students  

    Going to university can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life. 

  • Unlock potential with contextual admissions

    We want to develop a more transparent and consistent approach to contextual admissions across the sector to improve fairness and transparency for young people.

  • Collaborate in local cold spots to raise aspirations

    We want to support students in making the right choice for them, whether that means going to university or not.

  • Set up all students for success with an adequate maintenance package

    We want to work with the government to develop an adequate and sustainable student maintenance package.

  • Create career-ready graduates with targeted careers services

    All students should be equipped with the skills they need to flourish in the workforce.
