The University of Edinburgh and Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies have established Widening Access programmes, which aim to provide access to higher education from those whose backgrounds might mean they are less likely to do so than some of their peers. Image The University’s strategy for Widening Access states: ‘Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to study at Edinburgh. Higher education, and a student experience at Edinburgh, has the power to transform lives, not just of those who come to study with us, but their families and communities. Building on our values, and our commitment to having a positive impact on our local and global community, our strategy aims to ensure that students from a wide range of diverse backgrounds thrive and feel a sense of belonging.’ https://www.ed.ac.uk/student-recruitment/widening-participation This article was published on 2024-09-02
