Our Access and Participation Plan

Our Access and Participation Plan sets out the meaningful and impactful steps we will take to promote equality of opportunity to enable everyone, irrespective of background, to enter and succeed in higher education if they have the potential and desire to do so. It is a regulatory requirement and is focused on priorities identified through research, analysis and consultation.

The plan touches on almost everything that we do: working with schools and colleges to support learners, how we go about teaching, what we teach, the diversity of our education and research communities, the quality of our student experience and the contribution we make to the local region.

What we are doing to address keys risks to equality of opportunity 

Interventions include improvements in institutional policy and practice; new course provision; collaboration with partners; increased financial support and a range of projects and individual activities aimed at mitigating specific risks to equal opportunity. These are included in five implementation strategies:

What are we trying to achieve?

Our objectives

1. We will increase the proportion of under-represented students from the South West who progress to higher education by working in partnership within our region to improve the knowledge and skills required.
2. We will increase the proportion of entrants to the 鉴黄师app who are currently least represented within our student population by addressing gaps in knowledge, skills, predicted grades and course choice.
3. We will improve the continuation rates for students experiencing gaps in outcomes, particularly those who are mature, from a low socio-economic background, are disabled or have a mental health condition by alleviating non-academic barriers to learning and providing positive student experience.
4. We will narrow degree awarding gaps for students experiencing gaps in outcomes, particularly ethnic minority students and students who are mature or from a low socio-economic background, by providing personalised academic support and providing an inclusive educational environment.
5. We will eliminate the graduate outcomes gaps where they occur, particularly for students from low socio-economic backgrounds and disabled students, so they achieve a graduate level job or further study at the same rate as their peers by 28/29.

Our priorities

Our plan is based on areas where evidence shows the gap to equality of opportunity is biggest for specific student groups.

• At Exeter, access is our biggest challenge. Students are less likely to come to Exeter if they are from low-income households, live in an area of low representation in higher education, are mature, or are Black or from a minority ethnic group.
• The proportion of our students continuing into their second year, and completing their course, is generally good but there are gaps for mature students, those from a low-income household, care experienced students and those with a mental health condition.
• Degree awarding gaps have narrowed in recent years but are persistent for Black and Asian students, mature students, and those from low-income households.
• Progression is also generally good but gaps remain for low-income students, and those with disabilities and mental health conditions.

How will we measure progress?

• We will measure progress against the 12 targets we have set ourselves to improve access, success and progression and report this annually.
• We will evaluate each of the interventions within our Access and Participation Plan and publish the findings on our website.
