IntoUniversity provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve.
At each local centre IntoUniversity offers an innovative programme that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to attain either a university place or another chosen aspiration.
The innovative support programme
In communities across the UK there are students who can benefit from additional support in order to achieve their ambitions.
They provide academic support, mentoring and programmes that promote young people’s aspirations.
Academic Support
Primary and secondary students come down to our centres for Academic Support, where they receive after-school help with homework, coursework, literacy and numeracy from trained tutors. IntoUniversity also offer one-to-one support with GCSE, AS Level, A2 Level and degree options, coursework, revision, exam techniques, UCAS forms, interview techniques and gap years.
We run Primary Academic Support on Tuesdays or Wednesdays afterschool, and Secondary Academic Support on Monday and Thursday afterschool.
Mentoring
Students aged 10-17 attending Academic Support have the opportunity to join the Mentoring Programme. They are paired with a university student who provides help with school work, social skills, and confidence-building. The mentors act as role models who have already made it to university, and encourage the young people to think about their futures and raise their aspirations.
On the Corporate Mentoring Scheme Year 13 students are paired with graduates in full-time employment. They are supported throughout their final year of college and first year of university. Young people from our target groups are more likely to drop out of university in their first year than their peers, so with the help of their mentors they feel encouraged to continue with their study.
