Through our data led approach, the BAME Awarding Gap Project addressed the disparities in the outcomes and experiences of undergraduate Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) and white students.
Overview
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, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) 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 BAME, tend to perform well above national benchmarks, this discrepancy, known as an awarding gap, has persisted for the past few years. 果冻影院鈥檚 鈥榗lose the gap鈥� project听ran听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 project used a听value-added metric and an inclusive curriculum framework to address the BAME awarding gap. The consortium project came to a close in 2019 and further information can be found on the听.
Project Team
A project team听was assembled to address the awarding gap at 果冻影院, comprised of three Co-Leads, a working group and Faculty Leads.听The teams worked closely听with Deans and faculty leads to analyse faculty-specific data and introduce a toolkit of interventions to close the awarding gap. The outcomes of this project听also fed into听果冻影院鈥檚 application to renew its Race Charter status.
