Key findings
- Demographic data: we delivered 78 programmes and engaged with 4132 participants in the 2020-21 academic year. Approximately 70% of participants were on a Post-16 programme and 30% were on a Pre-16 programme
- Evaluation Surveys: the increase (from baseline to post-activity) in participants providing a Very Confident or Fairly Confident rating for specific elements of the programme they attended were: 26% increase for “Managing workload at university” and “Living in university halls in London”; 20% increase for “Researching university course options”; 19% increase for “Career options available for your chosen degree programme”; 13% increase for “Selecting the right university course for you”; and 12% increase for “Your subject knowledge of your chosen degree programme”.
