Understanding the Experiences of Ethnic Minority Students at Loughborough University
Understanding the Experiences of Ethnic Minority Students at Loughborough University
In late 2006, the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) was commissioned to undertake a study into the experiences of ethnic minority students (BME) at Loughborough University. The project was funded via Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund (TQEF) and focussed specifically on UK/EU resident undergraduate students.
A preliminary report was produced in November 2007 covering analysis of data on the admissions characteristics of students together with progression and achievement data (most analyses on students registered in 2006/07 with some review of earlier data). The final report was submitted in April 2008 and it provided a qualitative analysis of interview and focus group research undertaken with 42 BME students and interviews with staff from four academic departments (two each from Loughborough University School Art and Design, Chemistry, Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering and School of Sports and Exercise Sciences) and support services (Student Advice Centre, Counselling, Student Accommodation, and Community Warden).
