Understanding the Experience of Ethnic Minorities at Loughborough University

Loughborough University commissioned CRSP to undertake a research project into the performance and experiences of ethnic minority students at Loughborough. The University sought to understand whether existing data demonstrated anything about the experience of its applicants and students, and whether ethnic minority students were having less positive experiences at Loughborough than white students. The research approach was both quantitative and qualitative - it drew on existing data available through the University systems and developed a range of focus groups and one-to-one interviews with a wide-range of participants.
