About Student Success

Established in March 2022, the Student Success Office focuses on initiatives that enable all Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ students to be successful, regardless of their background.Ìý

What we do

The team leads on the design, developmentÌýand implementation of Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøվ’s strategies to support academic success andÌýclose awarding and retention gaps across Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾.

We deliverÌýinitiatives and provideÌýresources for Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ staff and students toÌýcreateÌýculturalÌýand institutional change.

We focusÌýonÌýevaluation and research. We takeÌýan evidence-led approachÌýto facilitate success for student groups where there are unexplained gaps in degree outcomes.

Who we work with and why

Student Success initiatives are funded by Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøվ’s Access and Participation Plan. The Office currently works to support UK undergraduate students who belong to at least one of the following groups:

The Access and Participation Plan identifies three key barriers to success for these groups: students' wellbeing;Ìýsense of belonging; and their teaching and learning experience.Ìý

These barriers are interconnectedÌýand we aim to tackle these holistically and address awarding gaps, along with existing support services.Ìý
