Surrey Black Scholars Legacy Pack
This legacy pack from the Shine Scholars Programme at the University of Surrey — one of the 13 Research England-funded projects focused on racial equity and access to postgraduate education — provides a concise summary of the SBS programme, distilling key findings from the overall evaluation into digestible one-page briefs on the programme delivery, stakeholder engagement, knowledges management, lessons learned, and dissemination.
This pack is designed to communicate impact, outcomes, and future opportunities clearly to target audiences. The SBS programme formed the University of Surrey’s contribution to a national racial equity initiative delivered across 13 higher education institutions.
Programme objectives:
- Increase the number and proportion of UK-domiciled Back students entering postgraduate research (PGR) through outreach.
- Create a more equitable PGR experience through inclusive support and enhanced peer and academic mentoring
- Expand career opportunities in academia and industry through tailored advice and strategic networking.
- Improve overall access to and experience of PGR for all racially-minoritised students, with targeted action for the most under-represented groups.
