Take advantage of the support offered by your Careers Network to enhance key skills and unlock your full potential to succeed in your studies and employment through our Student Success Academy.
Student Success Academy
Created to invest in a wide range of initiatives focused on the success and progression of all students, our Student Success Academy offers a wide range of personalised opportunities and tailored programmes designed to help you unlock your full potential during your time at university, and with a particular focus on students traditionally underrepresented in Higher Education.
With a focus on skills development across all stages of the student journey, the Success Academy puts the spotlight on key transitions including coming to university, moving into and out of your placement experience, stepping up to final year and becoming a graduate. We listen to your experiences and help you to overcome any barriers to achieving your own version of success, whether academic, personal or career specific.
Research highlights that students traditionally underrepresented at university are less likely to ‘get in and get on’ – progressing to a year-long placement, attaining their full potential academically or achieving the same level of graduate employment as their peers. Our Access and Participation Plan provides further information about this and the initiatives adopted by the University to reduce inequalities at all stages of the student journey.

Student Success Stories
Future Black Talent Programme student
I鈥檇 like to say a massive thank you. Your guidance and encouragement has been invaluable with the placement process, especially helping me to understand the value being myself and presenting confidential and genuinely 鈥� not just conforming.
Get Ahead Together mentee
I was quite lost in the first few weeks of semester one, but this has been immensely helpful across semester one and two. I feel more settled into university and confident about succeeding in my course.
Get Ahead Together peer mentor
The thoughtful sessions delivered to the mentees by my fellow mentors were also relevant to me. The exchange of ideas is a really exciting aspect of being a peer mentor 鈥� you get to learn so much from both the mentors and your mentees.
