Abstract

Student retention and progression is a growing area of interest in the Higher Education Sector. Work carried out at both Bournemouth University and the University of Bradford over a number of years provides some evidence to suggest that students who receive support in the form of pre-entry materials and structured support mechanixms fare better during the transition period and onwards into the first few critical weeks of term. This session presented feedback from students who had used the maerials developed by Bournemouth Univesrity and the University of Bradford.
