The Manchester Access Programme (MAP) supports the access of Greater Manchester students from under-represented backgrounds into the University. The University has a recruitment priority to monitor the number and proportion of applications to MAP from Black students, particularly Black males, and have been working with the University’s BAME Outreach Coordinator to identify new opportunities for promoting the programme to students from Black African and Caribbean communities. It has been found that around 200 students enter the University each year after completing the programme. A 3-year average analysis of MAP students entering the University shows that 75.3% are from a BAME background. Currently 8.1% of students identify as Black, which is higher than the University student population.
