Equality of opportunity
Access and Participation Plan
Our approved plan explains how Caspian School of Academics supports underrepresented students to access, succeed in and progress from higher education.
Our commitment
Improving equality of opportunity in higher education
As a higher education provider registered with the Office for Students (OfS), Caspian School of Academics is required to produce and publish an Access and Participation Plan. The OfS is the independent regulator of higher education in England, and our registration reflects our commitment to meeting its standards and requirements.
Our plan sets out how we aim to improve equality of opportunity for underrepresented groups to access higher education, succeed during their studies and progress after completing their course.
The Access and Participation Plan is effective from 1 August 2025 and covers the academic years 2025–26 to 2028–29.
