Rooney, Joy M.; Unwin, Peter F. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2021
Service users and carers' (SUACs) inclusion in student selection days at English universities is accepted as standard practice, since such inclusion is mandated by a range of professional health and social work regulators. However, SUACs' voices are little heard; this study addresses this knowledge gap for the first time. Student selection…

Wong, Billy; ElMorally, Reham; Copsey-Blake, Meggie – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2021

Buchanan, Denise; Warwick, Ian – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2021
Although educational researchers will acknowledge that they have a moral imperative to avoid harming their participants whilst carrying out research, it does not necessarily mean that they can describe the nature of what this harm might be or how it can be recognised and so avoided. This is particularly important for those working with vulnerable…

Polkinghorne, Martyn; Roushan, Gelareh; Taylor, Julia – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2021
Across the Higher Education sector, there is growing interest regarding the 'value for money' of a university education, and in response to this, universities may need to consider how to evaluate the perceived learning of students alongside their actual learning. "Learning Gain" maybe helpful in this regard, but there is currently no…

In contrast with many European nations, university students in the United Kingdom have traditionally relocated for their higher education (HE).

For…
