PARTNERS: Developing Potential and Supporting Success

Students at the PARTNERS Assessed Summer School

At Newcastle, we aim to admit the brightest and best students, regardless of background. We work closely with PARTNERS schools and colleges throughout the northern region to provide opportunities and support for students who may be thinking of applying to university.

As a result of this working relationship, and the events that we provide, we are able to:

  • raise awareness of higher education among students
  • identify and develop students' potential
  • help students make the transition from school and college into Newcastle University

“I would recommend the ASS, it helped me build confidence and confirm if university is for you. ”

Applying to Newcastle

If you are interested in applying to Newcastle University as a student from a PARTNERS school or college, there are two routes available to you:

  • The Guaranteed Offer Scheme: you may be entitled to receive a guaranteed conditional offer from the University, at the typical level for the degree programme(s) you've applied for.
  • The PARTNERS Programme Supported Entry Route: you may be eligible to receive a lower conditional offer from the University, which includes successful completion of a two-week Assessed Summer School.

Financial Support

Whichever you decide is the best route for you, if you are from a PARTNERS school or college and come to Newcastle University to study, you may be entitled to additional financial support, in the form of prizes and scholarships.

Additional Resources

Graduate Ambassadors

The Graduate Ambassador Team are recent Newcastle University graduates that offer a wide range of support, presentations and interactive activities to Years 12 and 13 (and college equivalent) students. As recent students, they are able to give a fresh and realistic perspective on university life and study. Visit the Graduate Ambassador website to access the resources that the team offer students and school/college staff.
