Widening participation is at the core of our mission and we believe firmly in helping people to seize every opportunity to flourish in education. Therefore we will offer a reduced entry tariff for students from areas of relative disadvantage, with lower rates of participation in higher education, as well as those students who have spent time in the care system.
