- This article has contributed to the body of knowledge that explores widening participation (WP) in higher education, particularly that within the UK. The article reports that HEI’s have increasingly used WP research, in support for the approval of their access agreements by the OfS, so that they are able to charge students more than the minimum level of tuition fees. This paper has contributed to gaining research funding for the Uni Connect Programme, which is a national initiative to help teachers and careers advisers to encourage young people to take advantage of higher education.
