- W2185403606 abstract "Summary The aim to increase levels of participation in higher education by disadvantaged students is a priority for the Scottish Government and Scottish Higher Education institutions .The University of Edinburgh is committed to widening participation, and has developed a number of initiatives to encourage more prospective students from under-represented groups. Since 2004 the University has pioneered the use of contextual data during the admissions process to identify disadvantage students with the potential to benefit from the academic experience it offers, and enable their entry with slightly lower prior qualifications. This report describes a statistical analysis of patterns of the entry, progression and degree outcomes of a sample of young students with GCE A-level qualifications entering the University at the start of this policy. • A-level qualified students comprised almost half (45%) of the sample of students studying programmes selected for the analysis. • The background characteristics of A-level qualified students differed from the SQA-qualified: they tended to be older, were more likely to be female, and were less likely to have attended a comprehensive school (26% vs 76%). • Only 8% of the A-level qualified sample was from a non-traditional background relevant to widening participation policy (WP-indicated), compared with 34% of the SQA-qualified sample. • Differences in average prior qualification scores between WP-indicated and other A-level qualified students were quite small, but WP-indicated students were less likely to have achieved AAA (29% of WP-indicated students had three or more A-grade passes compared with 43% of other A-level qualified students). • The majority of A-level qualified students, including WP-indicated students, achieved good degrees. • Prior qualifications were the main factor predicting degree outcomes, and WP-indicated students achieved as good outcomes as their peers with the same prior qualification scores." @default.
