Next Steps Programme

The focus of the programme is to develop study skills while allowing students to find out more about university. The programme is delivered free of charge and is available to schools and colleges throughout Lincolnshire and those on the boarder of surrounding counties.

As this is a Widening Participation initiative as of September 2018, Bishop Grosseteste University will be offering contextual offers to students who partake in the Next Steps Programme. Students who complete the full programme, and apply for an undergraduate course at BGU could be made offers at a lower UCAS tariff than standard course applications. This is dependent on other course requirements being met.

The focus of Next Steps is the development of the independent learning skills required when students’ progress to university. In addition, the programme provides opportunities for students to seek information, advice and guidance about their progression to higher education from a range of professional support staff, academic staff and BGU student ambassadors. It is delivered through a four-step approach.
