Transparency information

We are committed to providing transparent information to our potential applicants to assist them when they are deciding which programme to study.

We are proud of the diversity of our student body across all of our Schools and value the individual experiences and expertise that they bring. To deliver on our core purpose of transforming lives, the University is committed to widening participation and outreach. Our student community of over 30,000 includes more than 10,000 students from over 140 different countries. Our track record on student achievement and social mobility is impressive.

The information published on this pages shows the number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.

It shows these numbers by reference to:

• the sex of the individuals to which they relate
• their ethnicity
• their socio-economic background.

• Table 1a Attainment 2023-24 and 2024-25 - This table presents the percentage of classified first degrees at grade 2:1 or above by characteristics for 2023-24 and 2024-25 qualifiers.

Rounding and suppression

The data contained in the tables have been rounded and suppressed as follows:

• denominators or headcounts have been rounded to the nearest 10.
• percentages been rounded to the nearest 0.1.

Any data point that is not reportable will be replaced with a symbol to indicate why, applied according to the following hierarchical order:

• [none]: where there are no students in the population (or two or fewer);
• [low]: Low numbers of students, where there are more than two but fewer than 23 students in the denominator;
• [DPL]: Data protection for low numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. The code [DPL] has been used to indicate where the data has been suppressed due to a numerator or headcount that is less than or equal to two, meaning that the percentage will take on a value close to 0 per cent;
• [DPH]: Data protection for high numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. For the percentages, the code. [DPH] has been used to indicate where data has been suppressed due to a numerator that is greater than two but is within two of the denominator.

We have a strong record in terms of access and participation, which is evident in our student population and the proportion of students from under-represented backgrounds.

In our current APP, we have adopted the following strategic aims:

• Achieving equal outcomes for all students which addresses our aims and objectives relating to key target groups (BAME, mature, low participation and disabled) and their non-continuation and attainment.
• Transforming lives for all students which represents our commitment, not only to target groups, such as low participation, care leavers and mature students, but to the whole student community. We strongly believe that supporting and improving the student experience for target groups also benefits the whole student community.
• Developing an inclusive culture and environment for students and staff which allows us to address key issues and challenges raised by our student and staff communities. A truly inclusive culture supports the whole student lifecycle through curriculum, pastoral and experiential support.
