The PARTNERS programme has been running since the year 2000 and is one of the most well-established supported entry routes to higher education of its kind. Over 7,000 students  – including former St Julie’s Students – have studied at Newcastle University via the PARTNERS programme. It offers a range of support and opportunities to help prospective undergraduates make a successful application to Newcastle University. 

Through the PARTNERS Programme students can: Receive a lower contextual offer to Newcastle University; attend the academic summer school; meet other students and develop the skills necessary to succeed at Higher Education. Additionally, students on the programme receive support through the application process, on results day and once they enrol on a course. Year 12 students can register their interest to apply for the programme here. For additional information, please speak to a member of the Sixth Form Team.
