Common use of Provision of Information to Students Clause in Contracts

Provision of Information to Students. 16.1 The University understands the importance of providing clear, accurate and up to date information to all prospective applicants. Such detail is particularly important to those students from under-represented groups who may be more debt averse than those from ‘traditional’ backgrounds. 16.2 Details of tuition fee levels and of the financial support available to students will be routinely published in our prospectus and on our website. 16.3 Our Student Funding website includes information to enable students to work out the likely costs of studying at Bristol and to identify the various sources of funding (including both government and University of Bristol support) which they might be able to draw on to support themselves during their studies. 16.4 Information on tuition fees and financial support available to students will also be made available, in a timely way, to UCAS and to the SLC, as they reasonably require, populating their applicant-facing web services. 16.5 The University will also communicate information relating to student finance in the following ways; through the provision of Key Information Sets (KIS), student funding presentations in targeted low performing schools and colleges, pre application open days, recruitment events, widening participation interventions, pre and post offer visit days and as part of the University’s annual Higher Education Advisers day. 16.6 The University is cognisant of having entered a period of unprecedented qualification reform within the United Kingdom, which will continue into 2020. The reform covers GSCEs and a range of post-16 options, including vocational qualifications, apprenticeships, AS and A levels as well as regional differences across the UK, with qualifications in Wales and Northern Ireland diverging further from those in England. We know that these changes will take place at different times depending on the region within the UK, the type of qualification and also the subject area. These complexities have the potential to introduce confusion for applicants, their influencers as well as for University Admissions staff. The number of changes also pose a threat to the perception of fair and transparent recruitment, selection and admissions to the sector. 16.7 The University of Bristol will ensure throughout this time of qualification reform, noting in particular of the increasing take up of vocational qualifications and lesser take up of A levels, that admissions policies remain fair, transparent with clear provision of information to potential applicants and their influences in print, web and at open days.
