The Widening Participation and Student Recruitment Outreach Team offers campus visits for state schools across the East Midlands. We work towards raising aspirations, attainment and progression to university, particularly among learners who are from backgrounds which are currently under-represented in higher education.
Our campus visits can be delivered to groups of up to 60 students per visit. Schools serving communities with high proportions of students who are in receipt of free school meals/pupil premium and/or whose students are from backgrounds currently under-represented in higher education will be given priority for visits.

Online toolkits and pre-recorded presentations
We are also happy to introduce a selection of new interactive toolkits, which have been developed to be delivered in-school at a time that best suits you. We recommend these resources for schools who want to engage in University outreach but are unable to come onto campus. These online toolkits cover a range of topics including university accommodation, understanding how universities can differ from one another and the significance of sports and societies within higher education. All materials have been created with flexibility in mind - sessions can last between 30 to 60 mins and be delivered to a Key Stage 3 or Key Stage 4 audience depending on the activities selected. The most effective way of delivering the toolkits is within a computer-based, classroom, allowing students to navigate them individually having access to a computer.
If you would like to request a toolkit, please complete the relevant online booking form which can be found below.

As well as the toolkits, we also have a suite of pre-recorded presentations covering topics such as 'An introduction to university' and 'Is Uni right for me?'. These presentations span around 20 minutes and can be delivered to a Key Stage 3 or 4 audience depending on the presentation. To request a pre-recorded presentation or to find out more, please contact WPOutreach@nottingham.ac.uk.
IntoUniversity also offers a range of academic support for secondary school pupils.
In partnership with Nottingham Trent University, we also offer a variety of opportunities for current students to support you in your school or college.
