Abstract

The degree-awarding gap between white students and BME students indicates this is an ongoing issue (OFS, 2021). Early engagement with academic and library staff would be helpful to improve the academic skills of BME students. Group work, one to one, and online sessions help students improve their academic skills in a non-threatening environment. In addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which focuses on offering quality education, with the knowledge that 'education enables upward socioeconomic mobility' (UN.Org, 2015 ). The United Nations also addresses the goals of reducing inequalities that have been identified in 'ensuring no one is left behind'. This poster presentation will deliver the findings of a literature review that focuses on the current evidence available that enhances BME students' ability to succeed in higher education. The findings will highlight how students can be supported to progress and achieve their full potential.
