Registration from 10:00 amTaking into account the classification of Refugees and Asylum Seekers as ‘at risk’ groups by the Scottish Funding Council, this event focuses on FE/HE pathways and transitions in a two-part seminar focusing on policy developments in Access, Equality, and Inclusion.
The seminar considers demographic changes related to refugee settlement in Glasgow, and what this means for the University’s ambition to deliver access and outreach that supports refugees and their families.
Following lunch, we discuss asylum seekers, considering both barriers to HE study, and the steps Universities could take in relation to students facing asylum-related disruption to study and student progression
This event is open to all - students, staff, representative groups, and the wider public – who have an interest in refugees and asylum seekers, and their access to further and higher education.
