RAISING ASPIRATIONS PARTNERSHIP

The Raising Aspirations Partnership is a collaboration between Newcastle, Northumbria and Sunderland Universities. The Partnership works with young people aged 9-16 along with their parents, carers, teachers and advisors, to help them making informed decisions about Higher Education, through a series of exciting, interactive activities.

From January 2015, we are delighted to announce that Durham and Teesside Universities will be joining the Raising Aspirations Partnership. Keep an eye on the Partnership website for details of the new events and activities that we will be offering.
