Uni -Connect

Uni-Connect is a programme being delivered by the Southern Universities Network (SUN) and the project is focused on informing students from certain geographical areas about Higher Education progression options.

The geographic areas are selected because participation in higher education is lower than would be expected given the GCSE results of the area. The students who live in these areas are called Uni-Connect students and they can access one to one appointments with the SUN mentor to discuss what higher education options are available to them. This can may include; Apprenticeships, HND’s, HNC’s, Foundation year and University.

The progression mentor will also look to arrange activities and events for students to take part in to help with making future education decisions. All involvement is voluntary and the progression mentor is here to help!
