Social mobility
A university degree remains one of the best decisions an individual can make to be successful in the workplace and beyond. Anyone with the ambition, talent and desire to succeed in higher education should be able to capitalise on these advantages.
Modern universities are a major force for social mobility, extending and widening access to people who want to study part-time, to older learners, and to those who want to study while they work. What’s more, nearly 40% of students studying at modern universities are from poorer backgrounds.
