Male access and success in higher education
This seminar from the Higher Education Academy will consider gendered differentials in access and success focusing on male access to, and successful progression through, higher education.
This seminar will provide the opportunity for participants not only to hear about some of the latest research on male participation, retention and attainment, but also to critically examine the key challenges for the sector in addressing this agenda through the lens of their experience of their own institution's response to gender differentials at all stages in the student experience.
