Student Retention, Employability and Success Sample Clauses

Student Retention, Employability and Success i. Aston‟s retention and employability record remains amongst the best in the country, but we are committed to improving this, recognising that with a step change in the level of loans to be repaid, failing to complete a degree becomes an even greater worry for students and families than it is today. We are setting ourselves ambitious stretch targets for retention and employability (see Table 5a), because we see this as the best way to build on Aston‟s expertise in these areas and provide students, particularly from under-represented groups, with a strong start in their professional life. ii. From 2012/13 Aston is committed to offering further specific support for student retention by appointing additional teaching and academic support staff in our academic Schools. This will supplement existing academic personal tutors, and student engagement initiatives to identify where students need additional support in their academic and personal lives. iii. We will continue to ensure that all new staff undertake the HE Academy-accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Practice, and raise the number of academic staff who are Associates or Fellows of the HE Academy beyond the current 40% level (already above the national average). iv. We will increase the level of support in the Maths Drop-In Centre (part of the Learning Development Centre) by appointing student maths mentors following the model of our highly successful writing mentors and IT programming support. x. Xxxxx has over 1,000 active student peer mentors working with other Aston students in earlier years. We will increase this number to at least 1,500 in the next two years and continue to offer mentoring to all undergraduates. vi. We will roll out our innovative Engineering CDIO interactive learning programme and our intercultural communication workshops across all four academic Schools. vii. We will invest up to £1.4M in the next three years to offer free modern foreign languages tuition to all first year students. viii. Our NSP package seeks to increase the number of students who live in university managed accommodation on campus. This will help to ensure that more of our students living away from home would benefit from personal and social support on campus via our Residence Tutors and other pastoral services, which our internal research shows helps to maximise their performance (Xxxx and Xxxxx, 2004). ix. Aston has reorganised its Placements, Careers and Employability activities to enable an in...
