  4. What does this mean?

  5. Where do our students live? • Medians compared as data not normally distributed • WLV White median IMD 18.1 • WLV BME median IMD 37.9 • Coventry White median IMD 14.0 • Coventry BME median IMD 29.3 • BME students come from areas with all levels of deprivation • White students come from areas with relatively low levels of deprivation • The population of high deprivation areas in the West Midlands are ~ 70% White (ONS, 2011)

  6. Wolverhampton: Majority of White students from areas with IMD < 25 Majority of BME students from areas with IMD > 35 If students were recruited based on the diversity within the local population (ONS 2011), the red line should always be well above the black line for both institutions in all areas, regardless of IMD Coventry: Majority of White students from areas with IMD < 25 BME students distributed quite evenly across areas – more evenly distributed than any other group

  7. Impact of IMD on classification of degrees Wolverhampton: The higher the classification, the lower the IMD of home postcode, for both groups of students except third and fails ANOVA completed – statistically significant differences This implies Social Capital is a significant driver for ‘good’ honours at Wolverhampton Coventry: Higher IMD for 2.2 classifications – less deprived areas in general, IMD seems to have less of an effect on ‘good’ honours at this institution. Pattern still evident to some extent for BME students Note Coventry have VERY FEW white students from areas with high IMD
