Access and success: 200 years of removing barriers from education

This event was recorded on Tuesday, 19 November 2024 at the University’s Whitworth Hall and is the fourth and final live instalment of the Talk 200 lecture and podcast series. In contrast to the preceding three Talk 200 live events, this was a live podcast episode, centred around a panel discussion rather than a lecture from an individual speaker.

Professor April McMahon, Vice-President for Teaching, Learning and Students at The University of Manchester, was joined by Professor Duncan Ivison, the University’s President and Vice-Chancellor; alumna and former General Secretary of our Student’s Union Naa Acquah; and Management student and scholarship recipient William McArthur to discuss the University’s commitment to supporting students from all backgrounds.

The panel looked back to the University’s origins and its fundamental belief in education without barriers and how, 200 years later, those values are as important as ever. Established as a radically progressive institution that did things differently, we are today committed to understanding our history – both celebrating our achievements and working to repair any inequalities. Our experts considered how we strive to deliver equitable, affordable student experiences and provide access to career experiences that are truly transformative.
