The Awarding Gap Symposium will bring together staff to look at existing work and discuss new projects to reduce the awarding gap at Brunel.
Join the event here
The awarding gap refers to the anomaly in the top degrees (first or upper second class) awarded to groups of students differentiated by a social or cultural characteristic.
A number of our colleagues have worked hard on projects across Brunel looking into how to reduce this gap.
I would strongly encourage you to attend this online symposium to find out about this valuable work and to share good practice.
It will be an opportunity for everyone to find out how we can all support Brunel to move forwards.
