Previous and existing UK governments have placed pressure on universities to increase social mobility through increasing access to higher education for the most disadvantaged groups. Academic research has since demonstrated that admission to university does not automatically lead to 'successful' social mobility with differential experience, attainment and outcomes occurring on the basis of socio-economic and educational background. The proposed research is a mixed-methods study combining secondary data analysis with narrative qualitative insights into the experiences of social class at a variety of higher education institutions. The overarching aim of this research project is to explore the relationship between the different operationalised criteria used to identify those from working-class backgrounds alongside student outcomes and experiences of higher education. It then aims to assess how working-class students and widening participation staff understand the relationship between these factors in relation to their own personal and professional experience. This PhD is closely aligned with the ESRC theme: Inequality, equity, justice and economic growth. It offers the opportunity to closely assess the impact of participation in higher education amongst those from lower socio-economic backgrounds as well as explore the experiences and perspectives of individuals represented in the data.

以前和现有的英国政府通过增加最弱势群体获得高等教育的机会来增加大学的压力，以提高社会流动性。此后，学术研究表明，大学的录取不会自动导致以不同的经验，成就和成果为基础，基于社会经济和教育背景而产生的“成功”社会流动性。拟议的研究是一项混合方法研究，将二级数据分析与对各种高等教育机构社会阶层经历的叙事定性见解相结合。该研究项目的总体目的是探索用于识别工人阶级背景的不同操作标准与学生成果和高等教育经验之间的关系。然后，它旨在评估工人阶级的学生和扩大参与人员如何了解与自己的个人和专业经验有关的这些因素之间的关系。该博士与ESRC主题密切相符：不平等，公平，正义和经济增长。它提供了一个机会，可以密切评估来自较低社会经济背景的人群参与高等教育的影响，并探讨数据中代表的个人的经验和观点。
