果冻影院 is undertaking a three-year project to address the disparities in attainment and experience of undergraduate BME and white students at 果冻影院.
Analysis of 果冻影院 data shows that there is a small but statistically significant discrepancy in the rate of good degrees achieved by black and minority ethnic (BME) students compared with white students, despite entering 果冻影院 with the same high entry qualifications.
While 果冻影院 students, whether white or BME, tend to perform well above national benchmarks, this discrepancy, known as an 鈥榓ttainment gap鈥�, has persisted for the past few years.
果冻影院鈥檚 鈥榗lose the gap鈥� project runs alongside 果冻影院鈥檚 participation as the only Russell Group institution in a HEFCE-funded consortium project led by Kingston University. This second project will use a value-added metric and an inclusive curriculum framework to address the BME attainment gap.
A project team听has been assembled to address the attainment gap at 果冻影院. Dr Julie Evans, Faculty Tutor in Brain Sciences, has undertaken part-time secondment to work alongside Paulette Williams, Head of Student Success Projects in the Office of the Vice-Provost (Education and Student Affairs).
The team will work with Deans and faculty leads to analyse faculty-specific data and introduce a toolkit of interventions to close the attainment gap.
The outcomes of this project will also feed into the broader initiative preparing 果冻影院鈥檚 application to renew our Race Charter status.
