成人天堂

Our approach to widening participation

成人天堂 is committed to improving equality of opportunity and supporting the success of students from underrepresented backgrounds. Through our Access and Participation Plan (APP), we set out the actions we are taking to support access, continuation, attainment and progression.

This includes targeted activity across the student lifecycle, alongside financial support such as scholarships and bursaries, to help ensure that students from underrepresented backgrounds can access higher education, thrive during their studies and progress beyond university.

Transparency information for Undergraduate Students – Office for Students requirements

The University is required to publish the following ‘transparency information’ as a condition of its registration with the Office for Students (OfS). The relevant condition reads:

• F1. The provider must provide to the OfS, and publish, in the manner and form specified by the OfS, the transparency information set out in section 9 of the Higher Education and Research Act (HERA).

The transparency data relate to our ambitions to enhance participation from underrepresented groups and you can read more about the details of our targets and ambitions in this area in our OfS approved Access and Participation Plan. For a user-friendly overview of our work to encourage underrepresented groups to continue to study here at Lancaster, please visit our Widening Participation Strategy webpages.

For the 2023 transparency data we are required to publish a reduced set of transparency information. Therefore, the information in the PDF linked to below shows:

• The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.

It also shows these numbers by reference to:

• The gender of the individuals to which they relate
• Their ethnicity
• Their socioeconomic background in the form of the English Index of Multiple Deprivation (EIMD) 2019.

Sector information and further background

The OfS has indicated it intends to review its approach to the transparency information for the longer-term. You can read more about the OfS’ requirements in relation to the transparency return in the documents entitled .

In order to fulfil this requirement of its OfS registration, the University uses this web page to make available the Transparency Information 2026 in full.
