The University of Plymouth has a long-standing commitment to the provision of higher education to all those who can benefit from it, and in supporting our students, regardless of their background, to succeed in higher education and after graduation. We have for many years delivered positive outcomes in social mobility and widening participation.
With our Further Education college partners, the University of Plymouth engages comprehensively across the South West to support our region and its students to access and succeed in higher education.
We are aware that there is more to do to ensure that students from all backgrounds succeed once they are at Plymouth. In common with the Higher Education sector we are working to understand the barriers that contribute to our gaps in applications, attainment and progression from underrepresented student groups, in order to eliminate them.
Our current
Access and Participation Plan 2025 to 2029 gives a detailed account of the analysis, targets and steps we are taking to ensure widening access, student success and progression after University.
