Access and Participation Plan

Hero Carousel

Docklands Campus

Our Access and Participation Plan sets out how we continue to improve the equality of opportunities for underrepresented groups.

What are the plans?

Our 2020-2025 Access and Participation Plan sets out how the University of East London (UEL) continues to improve the equality of opportunities for underrepresented groups to participate, succeed and progress in and from higher education.

We have consulted widely with stakeholders to ensure that UEL students benefit from their journey and experience while at the University.

Our ambition is to support and encourage a broader spectrum of students into higher education as well as to develop their skills, knowledge and social capital so they can access graduate employment and fulfil their life goals. We are taking part in a number of initiatives to ensure these happen.

We are also proactively taking steps to identify those students who need our help the most.

The plan applies to all students who will commence their study with us in 2020-2025 academic years.

Read our  2020-2025 Access and Participation Plan.

Our 2019-2020 Impact Report shows our progress against 2019-2020 Access and Participation Plan targets.

Variation Requests

In April 2022, The Director for Fair Access and Participation wrote to all Higher Education providers with an access and participation plan, asking them to request variations to their access and participation plans for the 2023-24 academic year. He asked that the variations should address the Office for Students new priorities for access and participation.

The priorities outlined were:

  • Priority A: Make access and participation plans more accessible in a way that prospective and current students, their parents and other stakeholders can easily understand.
  • Priority B: Develop, enhance and expand their partnerships with schools and other local and national organisations, to help raise the pre-16 attainment of young people from underrepresented groups across England.
  • Priority C: Set out how access to higher education for students from underrepresented groups leads to successful participation on high quality courses and good graduate outcomes.
  • Priority D: Seek to develop more diverse pathways into and through higher education through expansion of flexible Level 4 and 5 courses and degree apprenticeships.

Our summarised Access and Participation plan has been published.( Priority A).

Our response to Priorities B,C and D are included as part of our revised Access and Participation Plan.
