Fair Admissions. The University of Liverpool is nationally recognised as one of the Xxxxxxx Group leaders in widening participation to Higher Education and supports the principles of fair and transparent admissions. The University recognises a wide range of progression routes and seeks to ensure that applicants from non-traditional backgrounds are given every opportunity to demonstrate their potential to succeed at the University of Liverpool. Admissions criteria, which are publicly available via the departmental admissions policies published on the University’s website, provide for individual circumstances to be taken into account when they are raised and evidence of their impact is provided, either via the personal statement on the UCAS form or via the reference, to ensure fairness and transparency. Additionally, a wide range of non-traditional qualifications are accepted for entry to many of our programmes. For adults living locally who want to return to full-time education and may have no formal qualifications, the University offers a ‘Go Higher’ access programme. This is a one year, part- time course in two pathways, Arts and Social and Environmental Studies. After successful completion of ‘Go Higher’, participants are eligible to apply for a wide range of University of Liverpool degrees.

Fair Admissions. It is the College’s policy to use an interview as the primary means of assessing an applicant’s suitability for their course of choice. The College believes that the opportunity provided by interview for applicants to meet and talk with staff and student representatives affords the most effective means of taking full account of all the applicant’s skills and characteristics. The College does not make decisions regarding a candidate’s suitability solely on the basis of information available from an application form (academic qualifications, personal statement and reference) where an interview is possible. The College reserves the right to not invite applicants for interview in certain circumstances including cases where a candidate’s application form indicates that they are ineligible for consideration or where the programme of choice has no places to offer. Applicants will be considered for entry if they have any qualification at a suitable level for entry as identified on individual course documents. Applicants who wish to defer will be treated on an equal basis to other applicants. The current admissions strategy does not include targets for individual courses but seeks to monitor and benchmark progress of courses against national standards. Not all courses can achieve ideal representation range against all targets. For example Foundation Degrees are more likely to recruit from a socially inclusive student cohort.

Fair Admissions. It is the University’s goal to admit the most talented students regardless of background. To ensure that all students are able to demonstrate and fulfil their potential, the University has built the following into its admissions framework:  Contextual data Our work on contextual admissions has focused on providing decision-makers with supplementary data about the social and educational background of applicants. Clear and transparent information about our contextual data processes is provided to applicants19 and we ensure all new admissions staff are properly trained in its principles and use. In 2012 we developed a new methodology20 which results in the generation of two contextual flags and we also developed a new admissions statistical report for contextually flagged students, allowing us to track and monitor throughout the admissions cycle. Our monitoring shows the impact our contextual data processes have in some of most selective courses, particular in Medicine and Dentistry. We are committed to ongoing monitoring, updating and improving data sources and we are therefore investing further resource in contextual admissions through our Access Agreement.  Courses with a Foundation Year Our courses with integrated foundation years21 have been specifically designed to provide students with the best possible grounding for continuing to a wide range of undergraduate degree courses including Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Life Sciences and Engineering and Physical Sciences. Our data shows that students participating in programmes with a Foundation Year are more likely to be from areas with low progression to higher education and from lower socio-economic groups than students on first year direct entry degree programmes. To ensure their continued attractiveness to students from under-represented backgrounds we will continue to invest in a generous package of bursaries (see section 5) for these programmes.  Support for specific target groups within the admissions processes The University has held the Buttle Trust Quality Mark for Care Leavers since 2009. This is awarded to HEIs who provide a 19 xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/study/undergraduate/applications/after-you-apply/contextual-data/ 20 xxxx://xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx/display.aspx?DocID=8128 high level of support to care leavers through their admission processes and into university study.
