If you are curious, UCL Widening Participation offer support to students who are disadvantaged on a range of different dimensions: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/widening-participation/eligibility-criteria. Being a First Gen student is not enough on its own to qualify for extra support, but as we hear on the show, there are nevertheless some obstacles faced by all First Gen students, no matter how privileged or disadvantaged they may be on other grounds.
 
We are grateful to all the students who shared their stories with us. Thanks also to Dave Pickering for his help in producing and editing the podcast and to the UCL Arena Centre for the money to do the project and the UCL Department of Political Science for all their support.
