Black and Minority Ethnic Student Attainment at UCL

This article has a non-traditional format in that it consists of a committee paper which represents the culmination of a project to investigate and quantify BME student attainment at UCL. This project was initiated by the UCLU BME Student Officer, who raised concerns about the attainment gap between White and BME students in higher education. A small team, funded by the Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT), undertook data collection to quantify the gap at UCL, review literature and make recommendations for future monitoring and measures aimed at creating a sense of belonging in BME students.
