Annual Admissions Conference 2019

Within the context of the need for a coherent full lifecycle approach to student access, success, and progression, this session will discuss the potential for collaborative working within universities and colleges to manage student transition.

Developing a sense of belonging is central to a student’s journey from applicant to student. The session will look at how this can be embedded across systems, processes, and initiatives, discussing examples of cross-team working from the University of Bath, including approaches to mitigating circumstances for undergraduate applicants, pre-arrival and transition, digital and in-person interventions, and new resource for inclusive curriculum.
