Student Success

Student Success

Student Success at the University of Leeds is built on reducing inequalities in higher education at every stage of a student’s journey:

  • getting into university (access)
  • completing their course (continuation)
  • achieving academically (attainment)
  • achieving their goals after they graduate (progression).

It involves fostering a sense of belonging, actively engaging students with their programme and the wider institution and making sure their experiences and opinions influence university strategies and policies. 

Our work is evidence based, using research and data, which supports the delivery of the University’s Access and Student Success Strategy and Access and Participation Plan (Word doc, 111KB). We also work with other universities to share good practice.
