Widening Participation in Post Graduate Study

NEON are setting up a new WP in PG network, and would welcome expressions of interest. Whether your institution has existing practice in this area, or you are interested in developing it, please get in touch.

Potential areas of focus include:

• Supporting WP UG students into PG study – working with careers advisers and academic staff to provide effective IAG on what PG study is, and whether it is the right choice for them
• Considering diversity of incoming PG cohorts. Known participation gaps exist across the sector across various WP indicators; HE participation at UG level does not always result in a level playing field.

Join us to:

• Bring together widening participation practitioners and careers staff
• Share best practice
• Consider metrics for the evaluation of intervention activity to support progression of WP students to PG study
• Seek opportunities to share best practice at a national level

Please see terms of reference here of for more information about this Working Group contact Felicity Wicks, Student Recruitment & Widening Participation Officer at the University of Manchester: felicity.wicks@manchester.ac.uk or tel. 0161 275 7152 .
