Abstract

This paper presents a research project which applied psychological student profiling to identify at-risk and high performing students who had just commenced their first year of study at University. The research brought profiled ‘at risk’ and high performing students together within a pro-active support intervention, including development sessions using a theoretically grounded intervention to effect attitude and behaviour change. The study was conducted in partnership with students and shows enhanced curriculum development as a positive output from this approach.
