Access Targets. The University is committed to making sustained progress in increasing the proportion of students from under‐represented groups.
Access Targets. The University will maintain its current access record at a minimum of 1% above its benchmark in all the following performance indicators relating to access, Additionally, the University will place particular emphasis on maintaining and enhancing its performance in the following key indicators: This emphasis is consistent with the performance indicators that the University has used in its Widening Participation Strategic Assessment for HEFCE. The University will commit to improving its absolute performance against these indicators over the period of this agreement. In the case of T7, the University will aim to move to above its benchmark and increase the proportion of disabled students in receipt of DSAs to 6.5% by 2017. This is consistent with the overall access targets of 1% above benchmark. In the case of the two indicators in T1b and T2a, the University already exceeds its benchmark by considerably more than 1%. The University will aim to improve upon this already outstanding performance. This will be a challenging task because of The withdrawal of a universal and clear entitlement to Education Maintenance Allowance, and The debt-adverseness of these potential applicants,1 and Additional challenges to the enrolment of mature adults. The University believes that there may be a dip in its performance against these targets in the early years of this agreement until the new funding system has been established and the outcomes of the additional work that the University plans have become apparent. By the end of this period the University intends to have recovered and improved upon its position. from socio-economic classifications 4-7 41.1 42.8 45 from POLAR low participation neighbourhoods 24.9 28.8 30 Entrants with no previous HE experience and from POLAR low participation neighbourhoods 21.7 23.6 24 T7 Percentage of students in receipt of DSAs 5.5 4.8 6.5
