Into HE Programme

Aim
In providing a continuous and consistent experience of a series of distinct but linked activities with familiar staff and Undergraduates (Student Ambassadors), the programme aims to better prepare students to engage with the idea of ‘University’ as a realistic option.

Overall, the programmes aims are to increase the level of knowledge and understanding of Higher Education to inform young people in care and raise awareness of the range of opportunities available to young people in care to their foster carers and care workers
