Supporting Student Diversity in Higher Education is a working
manual that is designed to help managers, academics and members of
the professional service teams within universities, recruit and
support a diverse student body across the student lifecycle at the
same time as delivering a quality student experience in a
challenging and pressured environment. Using the Student Experience
Practitioner Model as a framework, this book helps colleagues
responsible for improving the student experience navigate their way
through the maze of student diversity across all levels of study,
determining what to deliver, how to deliver it and to whom. It
interlinks academic, welfare and support activities at faculty
department, school, course and university level to support the
student in their university journey. Containing 40 practical and
innovative undergraduate UK and international case studies from
across 12 countries spanning four continents, this book provides
practical examples of recruiting and supporting a diverse student
body. It includes initiatives to support: mature students (e.g.
academic re-engagement); students with special needs (e.g. dyslexia
and other disabilities); international students (e.g. language
support requirements); students at risk (e.g. lower socio-economic
groups, care leavers, male learners); Transfer and direct entry
students (e.g. supporting students through this transition);
individual learners and their learning needs (impact of personality
on learning); students who support students (e.g. peer support).
This book will be of great use to senior and middle administrative
managers and academics involved in the recruitment, retention and
progression of students; and also to anyone involved in education
policy and students aiming to work in higher education.
