Project description

For a Professional Higher Education Institution (PHEI) to be truly inclusive, it needs to reflect its diverse range of students. To achieve this, a PHEI should not just consider its study programmes, teaching, and learning processes. It should also aim for fully inclusive student engagement.

Student engagement includes student activism and involvement in decision-making bodies. It also includes the structures and practices of students’ organisations. These aspects of student engagement do not reflect the diverse PHEI community. They can be hard to access for non-traditional and underrepresented students.

The InclusiPHE project helped create a more inclusive student environment. It raised awareness for full student inclusion. It also gave PHEIs and their student groups ideas, guidance, and tools to make student engagement fully inclusive.
