Lincoln College’s Flagship Access Programme, Pathfinders, has been included in the 2025-26 to 2028-29 Access and Participation Plan (APP) for the University of Oxford. The APP, which was published last month, sets out the achievements, goals and best practices for outreach and equality work and is required of every University in the UK by the Office for Students. Pathfinders is featured alongside an assortment of initiatives which showcase the ongoing commitment of the wider University to addressing gaps in access, participation and attainment at Oxford and across the UK.

Maryanne Saunders, Access and Career Development Fellow, said, "Launching Pathfinders marked a new era in Lincoln College’s commitment, not only to attracting the best applicants regardless of their backgrounds, but also to inspiring a new generation to engage with academia. We are delighted to be part of the Universities APP alongside other very esteemed programmes. We look forward to sharing more Pathfinders news in the near future."
