The Ideal Student project aims to better understand what is expected of university students. Implicit and unspoken expectations, especially from\u00a0staff, can result in diverse but patterned student experiences, and contribute to\u00a0wider social inequalities and reproductions.<\/p>\n

We aim to map out the student characteristics that are valued by staff and students themselves, across four broad disciplines of arts & humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and applied sciences.\u00a0By understanding how the \u2018ideal\u2019 learner is constructed in specific\u00a0contexts, staff and students can better recognise and address differences in their\u00a0expectations.<\/p>\n

Read our short blog<\/a> on why the concept of the ideal student is important, from our new website (currently under construction).<\/p>\n
