Our Diversity Access Programme provides tailored information, advice and guidance for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students considering Higher Education (HE). The bespoke programme is delivered to a small group of Year 12 (sixth form) or year one (college) students each academic year, with students being nominated for the programme by their sixth form or college staff.

Through a series of activities delivered in sixth forms/colleges and on the Edge Hill University campus, students will have the chance to discuss their pathway to HE and their aspirations. There will be opportunities for them to discuss university life with current Edge Hill students, build their study skills through workshops, and speak to Student Services about any potential worries.

Parents, carers and supporters are also an integral part of the programme and are invited onto campus alongside their students for one of the programme’s key events, talking about HE and Edge Hill specifically.

Students who attend all programme events and activities will receive a reduced offer (equivalent to 8 UCAS points) when applying to Edge Hill University (except for medicine courses).
