PARTNERS

Receive a lower contextual offer to study at Newcastle University via the PARTNERS Programme.

Through the PARTNERS Programme you could:

  • Receive a lower contextual offer to study at Newcastle University.
  • Attend the PARTNERS Academic Summer School.
  • Develop the skills necessary to be a successful at University.
  • Meet other students and increase your confidence.
  • Receive support throughout the application process, on results day and after entering the university.

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.

Over 9,000 students have studied at Newcastle University via the PARTNERS Programme. We offer a range of support and opportunities to guide you through your application to Newcastle University, and to develop the skills to succeed at 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.

It’s an amazing eye-opening opportunity on what uni life is like and I feel so prepared for September
