The Associate Student (ASP) project supports Computing students who study two years at a Further Education college (achieving an HND) then transfer directly into third year, studying for two more years to complete an honours degree (BSc or BEng). Students have access to university facilities throughout the four years (online and offline), plus workshops, lectures, and events to get them ready for university, and through their degree. The first associate students started in 2014 and we can now present quantitative and qualitative results that indicate the success of the project, including degree outcomes, students’ perceptions, and graduates’ experience.
