Remit

The Future Success strand of the Student Success Framework addresses our institutional aim to ensure that ‘all students have space and opportunity to build their intellectual, social and cultural capital for the future’. Working in partnership with the Academic Success and Personal Success Boards to oversee delivery of the framework, the Future Success Board exists to govern the Future Success strand, by monitoring progress against key targets, evaluating the success of projects and interventions, and maximising the cumulative impact on key performance measures through university, school and departmental activity. It also will enable the identification of best practice, opportunities and gaps, and support the coordination of activity across Faculties, Schools, and Departments and university-wide services.
