What is it?

Widening participation aims to broaden the range of students who attend university so that they are representative of the home population.

Why do it?

 widening  participation  is  vital  for  both  social  justice  and  economic  competitiveness
 

     HEFCE Strategic Plan 2006-11

How we do it 

There are two arms to the University of Nottingham's widening participation program:

  • our outreach work aims to raise aspirations, attainment and progression to university and the University of Nottingham;
  • our internal WP 'inreach' work aims to support entry and retention.
 

University of Nottingham staff and students can find more information on the Schools and Colleges Engagement, Recruitment and Admissions and Student Ambassador workspace sites.
