NEON Widening Participation in Postgraduate Study Working Group

The NEON Working Group aims to bring together practitioners and researchers to share best practice, innovate and test models that will:

• Widen access to postgraduate taught and doctoral study addressing gaps where there is under-representation. This includes a project to trial the use of additional criteria in the admissions process;
• Contribute to the depth and breadth of understanding of barriers to, and within postgraduate study, sharing research and considering intersections of disadvantage;
• Consider metrics for the evaluation of intervention activity to support progression of under-represented groups , and within, postgraduate study;
• Seek opportunities to share best practice at a national level
