Implication

Systematic review reveals challenges faced by black students in UK higher education, highlighting racism and institutional factors.

Key Points

  • Academic barriers and difficulties with social integration led to reduced academic performance among black students.
  • Racism and institutional factors, including microaggressions, created persistent racial inequalities in UK higher education.
  • Support systems and a sense of belonging were identified as important in alleviating negative effects on student well-being.
  • The evidence suggests a need for institutional reforms and equity-focused policies to support black student success.
