Abstract
The 2019 CATE-winning Science Foundation Year (SFY) at the University of Lincoln provides an alternative route for students into higher education for those who do not meet the standard entry requirements, have taken a break from education or have non-traditional qualifications. Students who have progressed from SFY into Year 1 of their chosen degree programmes are currently out-performing direct-entry students across the College of Science, with the attainment of BAME and mature students and those with non A-level entry qualifications closing or even reversing well-known attainment gaps. Approaches and strategies integral to this success will be discussed during this presentation.
