Summary
Service children and UK Armed Forces veterans are under-represented in higher education, yet they bring with them a range of valuable skills and experience. This workshop will look at the key challenges for these students, and the best ways to support access, transition, and ongoing studies – with examples from the University of South Wales and the Service Children’s Progression (SCiP) Alliance, based at the University of Winchester.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand how the particular needs of these students can be managed in the admissions process.
- Take away examples of good practice in action to help you inform or improve your own procedures.
- Get an overview of the work UCAS is doing to support these students in their application through to transition.
