The University is committed to addressing gaps in continuation, progression and award across the diversity of our student cohorts at any stage in the student lifecycle and will act to close such gaps where they appear.

The University of York’s Access and Participation Plan (2020-21 to 2024-25) outlines the university's targets for reducing its gaps in degree outcomes. Whilst the statistics tell us there are gaps for certain groups of students, it does not tell us why. The Award Gap research project has been examining why gaps in degree outcomes exist at York, aiming to uncover the potential barriers to our students' success.

To help us do this, we would like to hear about undergraduate students’ experiences of learning, teaching and assessment at the University of York. See below for information on how to participate in Stage 1 of the research project. (See here for Stage 2 Staff Survey)
