Abstract
The National HE STEM Programme has funded the production of a series of guides on
transition, induction and retention of students in STEM subjects. The guides cover
transition to HE, the first year experience, social engagement, curriculum development to
support retention, maths support, optimising the part-time experience, and using data to
understand the issues. The paper discusses why the guides were produced and how the
project was managed. The literature forming the general background to the project is
presented, together with the research underpinning particular guides. The paper
summarises the content of each guide, and discusses the lessons learned from the project
as a whole.
