Contribution to progress of sector. The University is committed to contributing to the sector’s understanding of effective practice. We do this through the sharing of research and best practise and by working in partnership to deliver programmes in collaboration with other HEIs and organisations to increase access to higher education.

Greater Manchester Higher aims to improve the provision of information, advice and guidance about progression routes to higher education (HE) and also provides information about the variety of HE options for learners and their key influencers. During 2015-16, over 170 schools have engaged with Greater Manchester Higher with over 6,200 learners participating in activities. Through this Network, we will contribute to the development of a collaborative programme of HE awareness- raising activities for state schools in Greater Manchester. We will use the Network as an opportunity to share best practice, grow the evidence base for what works and identify cold spots within our region. We are committed to continuing with this partnership to make best use of combined resource and to avoid duplication. It will also allow us to extend our reach to work with even more schools in areas and regions with low participation rates. In line with this commitment, we have included in our 2017/18 Access Agreement a specific target for our Greater Manchester Higher collaborative work.
