Access and Participation Plan/Access Agreement
The Higher Education and Research Act 2017 requires all providers of higher education in England that charge above the basic tuition fee cap, to have an approved Access and Participation Plan or Access Agreement by the Office for Students (OfS). This requirement is part of the OfS regulatory framework and sets out our commitment to widening participation and equality of opportunity across the student lifecycle.
