As a UK higher education provider, Solent University is required to set out in writing how we intend to widen participation, support access to higher education, reach out to students from non-traditional backgrounds and help all students to achieve their goals.
This information is contained within our access agreement documents, which are approved annually by the Office for Student's (OfS) director of fair access. The OfS are an independent public body tasked with safeguarding access to higher education for those from disadvantaged or non-traditional backgrounds.
Our last access agreement documents can be downloaded below. Older agreements can be retrieved from the Office for Students website.
