Ulster University Widening Access and Participation Plan
Ulster University is committed to promoting fair access, progression, and success in higher education, particularly for groups that are under-represented.
Each year, the University publishes a Widening Access and Participation Plan (WAPP). This plan:
- Sets out how the University supports students who can benefit from higher education
- Details commitments to widening participation and improving progression
- Outlines how a proportion of additional tuition fee income is reinvested, as required under the Higher Education (Northern Ireland) Order 2005
