A Focus on Academic Progression  

MMU has been working for some time to improve the student experience with the aim of making a step change to student retention and progression. The EQAL initiative was in large part designed to deliver such improvements.  

Addressing the Issues

The underlying factors contributing to timely academic progression for all students are likely to be a combination of the following:

• Curriculum design
• Teaching and learning
• Assessment and feedback
• Personal support
• Student engagement
