The Department’s Widening Participation and Outreach team are calling for academic support during a range outreach interventions over the coming year.

This work falls within our strategy to increase the diversity of the students we attract to our undergraduate programmes. As part of this, we run a wide range of events and activities for young people targeted at state school educated students, students who would be the first in their family to attend university, students from low socio-economic backgrounds and students who come from neighbourhoods where there is low progression to higher education.

We understand that staff may have less experience in delivering sessions for younger pupils and so guidance and support will be provided by Lory Barile (Widening Participation and Outreach Academic Lead) to all staff participating.
