As a graduate, you can take advantage of all these opportunities for free while supporting future generations of Northumbria students. For every registration on the platform, Santander will donate £1.20 to the University’s Higher Education Without Barriers Fund which provides a range of financial initiatives, mental health and wellbeing services and community-based projects to make participation and progression in higher education more achievable for academically talented students regardless of their social or economic circumstances.

You don’t need to be a Santander customer to access the Open Academy and if every member of our Alumni Association registered on this platform, we could raise over £290,000 for the Fund.
