The PARTNERS programme has been running since the year 2000 and is one of the most well-established supported entry routes to higher education of its kind. It offers a range of support and opportunities to help you make a successful application to Newcastle University.
Through the PARTNERS Programme you could:
- Receive a lower contextual offer to Newcastle University.
- Attend the PARTNERS Academic Summer School.
- Develop skills necessary to be a successful student.
- Meet other students and increase your confidence.
- Receive support through the application process, on results day and after entering the university.
What’s in it for me?
There are loads of benefits to completing PARTNERS. You’ll experience student life earlier than non-PARTNERS students and get a head start on higher education, by completing the PARTNERS Academic Summer School and supplementary events.
There’s also lots of support available while you’re at University, such as Student Ambassador work experience, the Careers Insights programme and potential financial support.
Who is PARTNERS for?
The PARTNERS programme is for students who are less likely to go to University because of their family background, low income or lack of access to information and support about universities and application.
Students must fulfil certain widening participation eligibility criteria in order to take part and can check their eligibility online. Students apply to take part in the PARTNERS Programme alongside their UCAS application, usually during Year 13/second year of college.
