QAA releases podcast episode on awarding gaps for minority students

QAA has released the latest episode in its membership podcast series on the biggest issues facing the higher education sector.

In this month’s instalment, Amrita Narang (QAA’s Quality Enhancement & Standards Specialist) chats with Dr Paul Campbell (University of Leicester), Bethany Sumner (University of Wolverhampton) and Dr Gary Hazeldine (Birmingham City University) about improving the experience of undergraduate students from different ethnic backgrounds and their award outcomes in assessment.

During the episode, the guests discuss the work of their QAA Collaborative Enhancement Project, ‘Broadening understanding in differing outcomes for specific assessment types for undergraduate students from different ethnic backgrounds’, and how its interventions have supported students within partner institutions.

This follows last month’s debut episode on academic integrity.
