The University of Manchester is excited to be working with BSN on the Grassroots Programme. We have been delivering a range of programmes to increase the participation of students from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups into higher education therefore recognise the importance of initiatives like this. The Grassroots Programme therefore aligns closely with our Access and Participation Plan with the Office for Students and our commitment to reduce the outcomes between different groups of students through interventions which are tailored to meet students’ needs.
