Rt Hon. Lord Willetts FRS, President of the Resolution Foundation and Former Minister for Universities and Science.

This briefing is for staff working in universities and colleges. Here, we outline common challenges for students who participated in widening participation (WP) and outreach activities, and share examples of good practice being done around the UK to improve access to and success in higher education.

There are several differences between the education system of the UK and other countries at university level. On this page you’ll find a summary of the key traits of degrees in the UK and look at how these compare to your expectations.

We use quite a few terms in the application process. We’ve explained them all here, if you need to check what any mean.

We encourage colleagues in outreach teams to sign up here to receive communications relating to outreach and widening participation.
