Abstract

Statistical evidence and qualitative research from within higher education (HE) in England suggests that disabled people underachieve in comparison to their non-disabled peers and that they face a range of barriers that militate against their success throughout their educational journey. This article discusses a research project that utilised focus groups to compare the experiences of disabled HE learners with their non-disabled peers and compared the reported experiences of learners who had entered HE with those that had decided not to pursue this path.
