Student success activities. SOAS is committed to supporting the success of all its students and helping them realise their aspirations. Our degree programmes are unique and diverse in their content and regional focus. It is therefore crucial to provide support at all points in the student life cycle – from pre-entry to after graduation, particularly those from underrepresented groups. We currently provide a wide range of activities designed to support and enhance students’ learning and success. These include one-to-one essay tutorials, departmental study support sessions and study skills workshops. In addition, we provide free week-long Bridging Courses for mature and first generation (including LPN) HE students to smooth the transition from school, college or work to university. Our review of the impact of the Bridging Courses on the first term, first year and degree classification indicates the following:  The Bridging Courses have a considerable impact on retention rates of mature students which are better than the overall mature student population  The vast majority of students who attend the First Generation Bridging Course end up with a 2.1 or higher  Further support is needed in the transition from year 1 to year 2 The support offered is having an impact on the retention of mature students; however we acknowledge that our non- continuation rate for students requires further investment. We will therefore place further resources into developing and expanding the Bridging Courses and first year support for 2015/16. Support will include essay feedback surgeries and we have implemented transitions workshops. All activities will be evaluated and improved to provide appropriate support for the most vulnerable students. In addition SOAS will be creating a Learning & Teaching Coordinator role whose specific responsibility will be engaging underrepresented groups in student success activities.

Analysis of our performance over the recent years shows that our retention rate for students from disadvantaged backgrounds exceeds that for our overall student population. However, we are aware that given changes in the fees regime in 2012/13 we will need to place more emphasis on strategies to ensure our retention rates remain high. Resources will be used to support the activities in the student lifecycle.
