HEA What Works? Student Retention and Success Sample Clauses

HEA What Works? Student Retention and Success. Programme As detailed in the previous Access Agreement, the University of Brighton has continued its commitment to the Higher Education Academy’s Student Retention and Success change programme which aims to improve student engagement, belonging, retention and success. The outcomes of the projects will be analysed in 2015-16 and the project team, including colleagues from a number of different schools across the institution, the Centre for Learning and Teaching, the Senior Management Team and the Students’ Union will use this analysis to inform the further development of student retention initiatives. Specifically we will use the findings from the interventions in the areas of Digital Media, Business Management and Applied Social Sciences highlighted in the previous Access Agreement, with a view to rolling out aspects of identified good practice to other areas of the university experiencing similar issues with student retention and success. The results from Brighton’s participation in the HEA What Works? project will feed into the national research programme which aims to increase the sector's knowledge and understanding of effective practice to improve student retention and success. Case studies and good practice from the project will also continue to be shared through the Student Retention and Success Framework staff development event, detailed above. Section 2c Financial support for students The University of Brighton intends to continue to provide financial support through bursaries based on an assessment of need related to household or family income and a student support fund based on assessment of need through an evaluation of current income and expenditure. The emphasis of the University of Brighton bursary package for 2016-17 will be to provide the greatest benefit to a large number of students from households with low incomes whilst continuing to provide targeted support to other students e.g. care leavers or those identified through the University of Brighton Compact Plus outreach programme. There will be one scheme called the University of Brighton Bursary, with awards made to new entrants in the first year only, with additional funds available in subsequent years of study for specific groups, such as the Care Leavers’ Bursary, Compact Plus Bursary and Access to Professions Bursary.1 In 2016-17 it is therefore expected that the University of Brighton will continue to target financial support towards the following four groups of students:
