- Abstract
- The Student Voices Project: the programmes and the students. The Student Voices Project The genesis of the Student Voices project in 2008 and early 2009 was conversations between teaching staff s and reciprocal visits by the programme directors of two Monash University pathways in Australia and South Africa. While this is not an unusual beginning for many research projects it was marked by both an immediate connection and enduring friendship among many of the staff s involved and the striking similarities among the reported and observed characteristics and experiences of the students at the heart of this study. For almost 10 years, both pathways had provided an entry into university for students unable to commence degrees at Monash University, an elite Group of Eight Australian University. At the time, the pathways directors were reviewing how each of their respective programmes might benefi t from closer ties and a collaborative, internationalised curriculum. Th is conversation, however, quickly broadened to a discussion about the students themselves and how past experiences of modest educational achievement and other characteristics, such as being fi rst in their family or generation to enter higher education, infl uenced their transition to and experience of fi rst year at university.
