In addition to awareness-raising events for all students from PARTNERS schools and colleges, the University also runs activities specifically for students on the PARTNERS Programme Supported Entry Route. If you've been accepted onto the Programme, we will write to you with more information about each of these events, but you may want to make a note of the key dates now.
| Date | Event | What is it? |
|---|---|---|
| 23 March 2011 | PARTNERS Making the Transition Event | Newcastle University has far more to offer its students than just a degree. This session explores the range of opportunities that are open to students studying at Newcastle through workshops on Student Life, the Students' Union, Making the most of your Money and many more. Please note: although this event is not compulsory, students who are thinking seriously about coming to Newcastle University through PARTNERS are strongly encouraged to attend. |
