IntoUniversity

IntoUniversity provides local learning centres where young people are inspired to achieve.

At each local centre, IntoUniversity offers an innovative programme that supports young people aged seven and up to realise their ambitions, achieve their academic potential, develop vital skills and gain experience of the world of work.

Our mission is to provide local support that can break cycles of disadvantage and open up new opportunities for young people. We believe in the talent of every young person, and do not limit our support to those young people who have been labelled ‘bright’ or ‘gifted’. We believe that, with support, every young person can progress to an excellent post-school destination and we are committed to helping them on this journey.

Our network has grown to 41 centres across England and Scotland – from Newcastle to Norwich and East Ham to Edinburgh – supporting over 50,000 young people each year. 

Our multi-stranded programme includes after-school Academic Support sessions helping young people with their school work; one-to-one mentoring opportunities with university students or corporate volunteers; a series of aspiration-raising workshops in partnership with local schools, universities and businesses; and career insight opportunities, including networking, insight sessions and work experience.
