Supported Progression

 

Supported Progression (SP) is part of Durham's summer school programmes to support students who are typically underrepresented in higher education, particularly at Durham. The programme will give students the opportunity to come to events and activities during Year 12 and 13 and an insight into what it is like to study with us! We aim to give these students the chance to show their potential in a different way. By passing the assessed summer school project, students can work towards a guaranteed, alternative offer from us as well as develope academic skills.

This opportunity is for Year 12 students from the North East, North West and Yorkshire.

 

Key benefits of joining includes (and is not limited to):

  • a guaranteed, alternative offer;
  • development of personal and academic skills;
  • receive key information, advice and guidance about the university application process;
  • experience student life during at costs free residentials.

Why should I apply?

Applying to universities can be a little daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! We’ll help you to find your way around UCAS and student finance, as well as give you support with your personal statement. We hope that SP will help you build the knowledge, confidence, and resilience to join us at Durham.
