Other graduate access proposals endorsed by Education Committee include consulting with divisions to establish fundraising priorities for graduate access; exploring the use of contextual data to support admissions decisions; and dedicating time to analysing the socio-economic make-up of the graduate applicant and student population.
Professor Martin Williams, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Education said: 'The University is absolutely committed to increasing access to study at Oxford, regardless of students’ backgrounds. We have already made a large amount of progress at undergraduate level, and it is positive that the Graduate Access Working Group is now starting to make inroads at a graduate level too.
'I am pleased that we are able to extend fee waivers and support for UK students. Alongside our existing waiver schemes, development priorities, and graduate access programmes, they will help unlock access to the exceptional education that graduate level study at Oxford provides.'
