    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.
