The project was very student focused. The interns designed the questionnaire themselves and also conducted the interviews. This project was viewed not just as an information gathering exercise for the University, but also a development opportunity for the interns. The interns were based within the Widening Access office, with ongoing support available from the Widening Access Support Coordinator in the first instance, and the wider team when he was out of the office.

Whilst we have data on students’ recruitment and retention to the University, we know relatively little about the university experience of students from Widening Access backgrounds at an institutional or subject level. This project sought to recognise this and begin gathering some data on the topic which could be used to enhance the student experience for future cohorts.
