Welcome to the wiki for the First Year Higher Education Student Experience in Wales. The group was formed from the HEA Welsh Institutional Group and includes representatives from each of the institutions listed on the left. To see the initiatives to support the first year experience at those institutions simply click on the name of the page.

The publication of first set of case studies under the two themes of 'Communities of Practice' and 'Academic Engagement' is available in PDF format (see below) or by contacting the representative at your institution (named on the page header).

We hope you find this wiki a useful resource and you welcome your feedback. The group is now working on a second collection of case studies and the themes for this year (2009-10) are 'Initiatives which support an innovative first year experience of assessment' and 'Enabling employability through the first year curriculum'. If you would like to share your own work in these areas, please contact your institutional representative.
