Annex Extract from: University of Greenwich Widening Participation Strategy Introduction Participation with success is the primary goal of the University’s Widening Participation Strategy. This recognises that widening access to higher education only has value if those students who are recruited into the University progress and succeed in their studies. A major aim is to ensure that efforts for widening participation are embedded in all areas of work, that barriers to participation and achievement are successfully identified and removed, and that good practice, both within and outside the University, is used to evaluate and enhance provision. The University’s strategy takes the student life cycle as an organising concept to ensure a holistic, integrated and efficient approach. One of the key elements of the University’s work in widening participation is to create a mechanism whereby both young and mature learners have access to a relatively seamless pattern of contact, raising aspirations, enhancing access and widening choice at different stages. Research has shown that progression and access routes to higher education are complex involving both lateral and vertical progression and thus it is important for such diversity to be reflected in the University’s approach.
