Abstract
This study supports existing literature:
- documenting the ineffectiveness of selection criteria for social work programmes
- addresses a gap in scholarship by examining the value of specific selection tools and measures.
- Factors that do correlate with student success suggest that being well-resourced as a student is paramount.
- Supporting students to succeed during the course of their study may be of higher value than attempting to select “suitable” students in the first place.
