Geographical Focus. The University has a longstanding commitment to working with schools and colleges in the city/region, and this will continue to be the primary focus of our face to face outreach activity. However, through continued and expanded collaboration with other selective HEIs, we are able to offer a range of outreach opportunities to students from further afield, e.g. Yorkshire and the Humber (through our Excellence Hubs partnership with the universities of Leeds, Hull and York) and nationally through our active role in the Xxxxxxx Group. In addition to such outreach initiatives, we have implemented a more systematic approach to the use of contextual data in the admissions process. We are now able to highlight students from disadvantaged backgrounds from across the UK, allowing us to reach under-represented groups of students on a national basis (see 4.2.2). Our financial support for students will also apply to students nationally not just locally. • Targeting of our outreach programmes Our general approach to targeting for participation on our outreach programmes is to target students who would benefit most from the involvement. The approach to targeting is in line with the HEFCE targeting guidelines6, but will vary according to the nature of the initiative. For example, our primary school activity targets young pupils and their parents in the more deprived areas of our region. Our 11-16 activity will generally target schools that have a lower progression of students to HE, or sit within more deprived areas, or have lower attainment rates for pupils. Our post-16 outreach programmes will generally target individual students who meet a number of widening participation criteria, regardless of the school or college they currently attend. We also have an element of outreach and schools liaison activity that will be offered more broadly to all students/schools and colleges, where there is a need to convey accurate and timely information regardless of a young person’s background. Over time, we anticipate that our targeting model will be refined further, in line with the research findings of the WPREU. • Targeted outreach for access to selective courses / careers / professions The major expansion in our outreach activities builds on our experience of running successful, intensive programmes, such as our long-running and successful access to medicine programme (SOAMS) which was introduced in 2001. These profession-specific programmes target cohorts 6 Higher Education outre...

Geographical Focus. The SKYL end line evaluation survey was conducted in 16 Kosovo municipalities in three regions. Graph 1 shows the origin of all 337 interviewees. The geographical distribution of the sample was based on actual population distribution within target municipalities. The control group respondents, a total of 150 interviewees in 16 municipalities, disaggregated by origin in municipalities are presented in Graph 2.
