Focus group 1

A very interesting and engaging 2 hour conversation with a group of BAME students from different backgrounds, cultures and countries.  They actively gave an insight into their experiences at UoN and their opinions into what they believe are some of the issues and challenges that they and other BAME students face, and the impact that may have on attainment.
