Progression/retention-related activities Sample Clauses

Progression/retention-related activities. While the University of Bristol’s overall track record in student retention is strong, we will increase investment in activities which provide support for the specific challenges which students from widening participation backgrounds often face in making the transition to university-level study by £0.22m – from £0.4m per annum in 2011/12 to £0.62m by the time we reach steady state in 2016/17. While the University has a strong track record in the area of student retention, we recognise that students from widening participation backgrounds often face specific challenges in making the transition to university level study and that this is reflected in higher than average withdrawal rates for a number of under represented groups. We currently invest £2.1m p.a. in student welfare services and £1.2m p.a. in student careers and employability support. In 2011/12, a further £0.4m was allocated to initiatives specifically designed to provide support in the area of retention of students from under-represented groups. We now plan to increase this by around £0.22m (to £0.62m by the time we reach steady state in 2016/17) in order to: 8 Organisations with whom students are working include Bristol Libraries, the Bristol Drugs Project and the National Autistic Society. • Expand our peer mentoring and peer assisted study programmes, which have been successfully piloted in two faculties. • Review university-level induction and transition support more widely to ensure that students from non-traditional backgrounds continue to be as well supported as possible. • Enhance our student support provision to ensure it meets the needs of under- represented groups effectively.
