This case study by two members of the staff of Newcastle Polytechnic Centre for Continuing Education and Training was presented, with a number of similar papers, to a conference Access to Higher Education organised by The Royal Society in conjunction with MSC, DES, DTI, DofE, CNAA and the Committee of Vice‐Chancellors and Principals. The conference dealt with the options for widening access to HE, both for 18‐year‐olds and mature students, in the light of the known fall by one‐third between 1985 and 1995 in the number of school‐leavers in the UK.
