Widening access addresses the recruitment C retention and progression of students from a wide variety of groups traditionally under-represented in higher education.
These include people from ethnic minority groups C from disadvantaged communities C people with disabilities and those from families with no previous experience of higher education.
Cardiff University is dedicated to promoting equality. We recognise the benefits that a diverse and talented student community can bring. We are committed to responding to the Welsh Government's expectations outlined in its higher education strategy - For our Future - and have developed a widening access and retention strategy through which we will:
-
raise the aspirations and attainment of students from groups under-represented in higher education in Wales
-
ensure that we recruit students to the University from all backgrounds and recognise the full potential of students during the admissions process
-
offer additional routes onto selected full-time undergraduate courses and more flexible postgraduate modes of delivery
-
provide tailored support for students to allow them to develop academically C professionally and personally to their full potential.
-
Many staff and students across the University are involved in this important work.
