“…By being peer led, PASS sessions allow students to learn in an informal and supplementary environment; this encourages deeper knowledge and a greater sense of belonging and ownership among student cohorts (Hoffman et al, 2002;Tibingana-Ahimbisibwe et al, 2020;Garcia-Melgar et al, 2021) as well as increased communication and cohesion between students in the higher year(s) (Green, 2001;Dawson, et al, 2014). PASS is particularly beneficial to students from economically or socially disadvantaged communities as well as undergraduate and postgraduate international students, aiding both learning and integration (Rapley, 2011;Zaccagnini and Verenikina, 2013;Duah, Croft and Inglis, 2014;Chilvers, 2016). PASS schemes create a highly social and interactive learning environment that encourages the establishment of relationships with domestic and other international students feeling increased confidence, a greater sense of community, and ownership and learner cohesion (Zaccagnini and Verenikina, 2013;Higgins et al, 2019;Tibingana-Ahimbisibwe et al, 2020).…”
