Published within Institutional Repository http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/4255/
This research project contributed to the University of Sunderland gaining the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) national award, 2013 Access to HE Higher Education Provider of the Year. The findings of the paper reveal that Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) need to rethink their communication strategies with adult learners. They need to offer added value pathways from FE to HE study, attractive solutions which respond to the need for agility and continuous change in both further and higher education. It also highlighted that transition from further to higher education study requires high-intensity support by academic and student-centred staff teams
