Reinforcing social disadvantage: Institutional habitus in Croatian higher education

In the chapter we report findings of our study on how institutions can alleviate, but also exacerbate the influence of life circumstances on students’ study experiences and progress. Drawing on Reay, David and Ball’s (2001 ; 2005) classification of facets of institutional habitus we identified organisational characteristics impacting student experiences as timetables, the requirement to attend lectures, assessment, equipment, group size, scholarships, administrative support and institutional accessibility ; expressive characteristics as including communication between students and academic and administrative staff, as well as the quality of communication between students ; and curriculum encapsulating how adapted the study content is to previous educational experiences and what values curricula privilege.
