From freshers’ week to finals: understanding LGBT+ perspectives on, and experiences of, higher education

Sheffield Hallam University recently published a report on their #FreshersToFinals project. The project explored LGBT people’s experiences of and thoughts about higher education and the student journey.

The project aimed to:

• raise public awareness of potential issues experienced by LGBT students and those considering entering higher education;
• increase practitioner and institutional awareness about LGBT students’ potential needs;
• identify any evidence gaps in the field;
• build and strengthen relationships with and between relevant organisations in the higher education and LGBT sectors.
