UNIVERSITY PROFILE
The University is also part of the neaco (Network for East Anglian Collaborative Outreach) project. Funded by the OfS, the University leads the Suffolk element of the neaco consortia, which aims to increase participation and attainment into HE, working with target schools/colleges and students in Suffolk. We will continue to focus on curriculum areas that are closely aligned with the regional economic and New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (NALEP) priorities particularly STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), and those other areas that will support the local economy. We are working with Suffolk County Council on the Suffolk STEM Accelerator which will work with young people and schools to raise participation in STEM subjects both at school and in post-compulsory education and stimulate interest in STEM employment opportunities. The Good Hons rate (number of Honours students on first degrees achieving a 1st of 2:1) for the Ipswich campus has increased from 65.4% in 2017/18 to 68.1% in 2018/19.
