Widening Participation

The School of Geographical Sciences is committed to fostering a diverse community of students from all different backgrounds, with particular focus on promoting access to higher education for under-represented groups.

• Outreach
  We offer a number of outreach events and activities to give school pupils an insight into what studying Geography at Bristol is really like.
• Access to Bristol
  This scheme is available to students taking A-Levels, BTECs or equivalents, and consists of a series of sessions held at the university with academics and current students. Completing this scheme also makes you eligible for the Access to Bristol bursary.
• Contextual Offer
  We make contextual offers to support prospective students from under-represented backgrounds gain admission to the School.
• Access Postgrad scheme
  The Access Postgrad scheme provides peer mentoring and skills development sessions to help current University of Bristol undergraduates decide whether postgraduate study is right for them.
