PARTNERS programme
PARTNERS aims to support students who have faced barriers in their journey to higher education
What is the PARTNERS programme?
The PARTNERS programme has been running since 2000. It is one of the most well-established supported entry routes to higher education. PARTNERS aims to support students who have faced barriers in their journey to higher education. It also aims to address gaps within the student body, as identified within the University’s Access and Participation Plan.
Over 8,000 students have studied at Newcastle University through the PARTNERS Programme. It offers a range of support and opportunities to help make a successful application to Newcastle University.
Through the PARTNERS programme, students 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 their confidence.
- Receive support through the application process, on results day and after enrolling.

What volunteering activity can I undertake with them?
PARTNERS Academic Summer School runs in July every year. As part of this we invite alumni to come and talk to students. They talk about their degree programme, the impact studying at Newcastle has had on their career and their time at Newcastle as a student.
