        "title": "UKSBS CR18018 Recruitment of Mature Students to Healthcare Courses",
        "description": "HEFCE requires the winning bidder to deliver three case studies of engagement and recruitment of mature students to HE healthcare courses in three separate geographical areas. The winning bidder will be expected to produce a report which HEFCE intends to publish and which will provide insight to HE providers as well as governmental and non-governmental agencies on current and future recruitment of mature students to healthcare courses. In order to do so, it will : * analyse determinants of success in recruiting mature students * analyse challenges in reaching and attracting mature students * make recommendations for providers and professional bodies on ways to maintain or increase overall numbers of mature entrants to healthcare courses * make recommendations for providers and professional bodies on ways to sustain the diversity of mature entrants to healthcare courses. We hope that the lessons to be learned from these case studies will be valuable to providers and professional bodies regarding mature student engagement in Higher Education overall, so it would be desirable for any such wider lessons to be set out in the report.
