About the role
The Access Project is an evidence-based, data driven intervention.

Central to our programme are the ways in which we use data to ensure each of our students receives the provision they need, to learn about how we can improve our delivery and to evaluate our impact on our students' university prospects.

We have developed sophisticated monitoring and evaluation systems bringing together data from a variety of sources to track students' progress (impact management) as well as ascertain their outcomes (impact evaluation).

We collect data on our students' academic and socio-demographic background, their participation on our programme and progress on our bespoke university readiness scales, and their academic results and university destinations.

We use this data to intervene in real time when delivery goes off-course but also to understand how The Access Project programmes affect student outcomes and publicize this impact externally.
