Highlighting and developing key strengths within the University of Derby
The UK Government has set a target of 50% HE enrolment for 18-21 year olds by 2010. The HE Sector is now looking at providing more support for traditionally resistant groups, these include:
- Students from geographically remote areas
- Students from under represented ethnic minorities
- Students with no family history of HE
- Mature/working students
This project has been sponsored by HEFCE to examine how HE provision can be made more flexible and accessible to students particularly from the above groups.
Other projects exist at Northampton, Leeds Met, Staffordshire Universities and The Medway Consortium. The pilots have been tailored to build on Derby University’s leading reputation for flexible learning and "Learning through Work". Brief details of each pilot can be accessed through the menu on the left hand side.
