The Brilliant Club, a UK-wide charity that supports less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities, and succeed when they get there.
Disadvantage does not disappear when students walk through the doors of a university. Some students are less likely to get good grades in their first year, more likely to drop out before their second year and less likely to graduate with a 1st or 2:1 in their final degree.
Our programme Join the Dots is completely free for schools, and is designed to support students as they apply for and transition to university. The programme is run in partnership with universities across the country, including King’s College London, Durham University, Liverpool John Moores University and Goldsmiths, University of London with more to be announced in the next few months!
Join the Dots runs in two parts.
UniPrep supports Year 12 and 13 students with university application and preparation, through a series of online resources. This also includes live webinars in July and August on preparing for and life at university.
Students who attend one of our partner universities then receive academic coaching in 1:1 and peer group sessions led by a PhD Coach, as well as advice and guidance as they settle in.
