How we work with Universities

AccessEd is a charity that works to create an ecosystem of educational excellence and social impact with its university partners. 

We help universities not only reach out to diverse future students to support their journeys, but also use our experience to support undergraduates and postgraduates to an impact on the world around them through high-impact careers whether academic or professional. We collaborate with universities and institutions (scholarship groups, collaborative hubs, and more) to offer programmes that help develop undergraduate and postgraduate university students while contributing to a bigger social footprint.

We work with UK and international universities in three key ways:

  1. Offering development opportunities for their students and post-graduates
  2. Widening participation tutoring schemes (international)
  3. Widening participation digital resources in state schools (UK)

Find out more about our programmes below.

Covid-19 Update: AccessEd is working with university partners on digital training and digital widening participation content to ensure students who are most vulnerable and at key transition periods are supported. If you are interested developing your outreach resources for Year 12 and 13's or current-student support to increase retention and engagement please contact us below.

LeadUni - UK Undergraduate and Post-Graduate Training Programme

LeadUni supports retention and graduate success through targeted professional development courses on international, social and professional leadership. These can be offered to boost your existing package, or as a full package in itself. Our series of courses that range from Orientation in the UK to Social Impact and Leadership to Employability Skills for your post-graduates and undergraduates; we have entire curricula or packages of themed courses that help increase student confidence, skills and ability to have social impact post-degree.

Courses are taught by our team of experienced professionals with backgrounds in working with world-leading private sector, political and non-governmental organisations combined with international university student training experience.

See our LeadUni Training Curriculum snapshot here: Curriculum PDF

GrowUni Incubator - Access Projects

We work with university partners worldwide to build university access programmes in their region or country to respond to help bridge the gap for underrepresented young people. The programme model uses the time of your post-graduates to offer a special tutoring intervention for 10-18 year-olds, supporting their journey to higher education. In 2020 and beyond we are also going to be working with UK universities to link them into our global programmes to support cross-cultural opportunities and increase best-practice sharing. Current projects support access programmes in Botswana, South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Ireland.

If you are interested in being a part of our international work please contact us here.

ReachUni - UK School Outreach & Widening Participation 

We work with UK universities on their widening participation strategy through digital innovation projects and special curriculum boosters focusing on state schools and students that are harder to engage. This work primarily takes part in the UK but is open to international universities interested in helping under-supported schools and students better access their content, expertise and create strengthened access programmes.

To find out how we can support your subject and curricula content for school-age students, please contact us here.

    

Interested in UK tutoring to support widening participation? - The Brilliant Club

We came out of The Brilliant Club. The Brilliant Club is the original charity working with university post-graduate researchers to help you give back as either a tutor or teacher. To find out more about being a Tutor with the Scholars Programme or a teacher through the Researchers in Schools programme visit: The Brilliant Club. 

AccessEd also works on innovation projects in each of these streams to support widening support, retention and graduate success. To find out how more about how we can offer development opportunities for your PhD students, undergraduate students or support your widening participation through our outreach schemes please contact [email protected].
