Access Outreach Programmes:
Durham University offers a range of different
targeted outreach programmes for students in Year 12. They are designed to support students from backgrounds and demographics typically underrepresented in higher education, specifically those from the most disadvantaged areas across the UK and students who are of Asian Heritage and Black Heritage. Participants can also get a guaranteed contextual offer on successful completion of the programme.
