Midlands universities in joint study into minority ethnic students’ achievements

 A new £190,000 study commissioned by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) will see two Midlands Universities working together to carry out research into the attainment levels of black and minority ethnic (BME) students.

Dr Gurnam Singh from Coventry University and Professor Glynis Cousin University of Wolverhampton, who successfully bid for the funding through the HEA’s National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS), will begin the joint study in August.

The project aims to address the recommendations of a recent report produced by the HEA and the Equality Challenge Unit (ECU).

More information is available on the University of Wolverhampton's website.
