Student success: retention

Student Success is a six-month longitudinal project for the Connect Benefit Series 2021-22 focusing embedding employability and access, retention, attainment and progression in higher education.

This is the first in a series of four podcasts previewing the findings of a literature review on access, retention, attainment and progression 2016-21, exploring interventions which have shown impact on access, retention, attainment and progression outcomes and the connections between these areas,  which will be published as part of this theme. 

In this episode, Dr Liz Austen, Head of Evaluation and Research, Sheffield Hallam University is joined by Dr Rebecca Hodgson, Associate Dean Teaching and Learning, Sheffield Hallam University who principally researched the retention area of the literature review. As well as discussing the key findings for this section of the review, this podcast also focuses on how to develop interventions in relation to retention and next steps for stakeholders for increasing retention.

This episode was recorded on 27 September 2021.
