Transitions to higher education – strategies to benefit widening access students

Access Academy Training

What to expect
This one day course will look at strategies to benefit widening access students. By the end of the day delegates will:

• Understand and be able to apply theories about transition and its important to student success in their own work
• Have considered why transition is especially vital for students from under-represented groups
• Have looked at different strategies for student transition and consider the benefits and challenges of each strategy
• Understand the relationship between day students and institutional loyalty
• Be able to design a student transition programme that supports those from widening access backgrounds

This training is designed to give delegates the chance to develop both their knowledge and skills needed as a WP practitioner as well as provide a comfortable space to discuss the latest issues with colleagues from other organisations.
