By tracking a group of qualified but socio-economically
disadvantaged young people, this study identifies the factors which
impact upon their HE careers. It examines factors that govern
levels of success as well as those that impede the progress of
academically able but disadvantaged young people. The study uses
both quantitative and qualitative methods to follow the progress of
395 young people from schools located in disadvantaged areas. It
identifies factors that hinder their progress as well as the ways
in which they overcome barriers. While there has been much recent
debate on the obstacles to widening HE participation, this is the
first study to follow a group of disadvantaged students through HE.
Widening access to HE remains high on the political agenda with
universities attempting to respond to the government's commitment
to providing places for 50% of young people. The report is aimed at
academics and policy makers. It will be of particular interest to
people within schools and universities who are attempting to
implement a wider access agenda and wish to learn more about the
nature of the barriers faced by disadvantaged students.
