Congratulations, you’ve made it to the PARTNERS Academic Summer School

PASS 2024 will take place from Sunday 30 June to Friday 5 July 2024. 

It will be delivered in a blended format; half online and half on campus:

  • in-person days will take place on campus at Newcastle University
  • online days will be delivered via Canvas, Newcastle University's Virtual Learning Environment. This is the same platform used by undergraduate students to learn and collaborate remotely

Developing the skills for success

By the end of the PASS, you will have achieved and developed the following:

  • subject-specific knowledge, understanding and skills in your chosen subject area
  • a range of skills needed for success at the University
  • familiarity with University systems and the campus
  • confidence in your ability to succeed at the University
  • contact with some staff who will teach you at the University

I really enjoyed the Summer School, it increased my confidence in knowing the city and the course as well as meeting new people.
