UK Widening Participation and Postgraduate Public Engagement Programmes

We work with UK universities on their widening participation and postgraduate engagement strategies through digital innovation and curriculum programmes. We engage postgraduate students to design and produce digital products focusing on state schools and students that are harder to reach.

What are Curriculum Programmes?

Our ‘Curriculum Programmes’ are a variety of digital and workshop based programmes, producing curriculum and supra-curriculum resources.

These resources are written by PhD researchers, and link to the National Curriculum. All programmes build the subject attainment, skills, confidence and university-style learning exposure required for progression to higher education.
