Our programmes

With a pool of talented young people not joining the pathway to higher education, it is more important than ever to intrigue, inspire and encourage children and young people from less advantaged backgrounds to think about their future. We hold a range of programmes to support you no matter your background.

What is the purpose of University of Nottingham programmes?

We provide information, advice and guidance sessions for schools and colleges across the UK. We offer a range of activities that can be tailored to meet the needs of your audience, and can be delivered both virtually and at your institution.

We also run a range of schemes designed to provide your students with further information about university or particular subject areas.

Our sessions are designed to raise awareness of the benefits of university and inspire your students to think about their future.
