Abstract

This research focuses upon the narratives of first year degree students at a large institution in Northwest England. These students are commencing their studies having achieved vocational, academic qualifications or a mix of both. This is the first part of a longitudinal study following the students throughout their learner journey of their undergraduate degree.
