Our mission The mission is to bring a university education within the reach of young people from the poorest homes. Thereby opening up a world of new life- possibilities and careers to young people who might otherwise never have these opportunities.
Our model The IntoUniversity programme is delivered at local learning centres established at the heart of the communities where our students live. Our users typically come from backgrounds where their likelihood of attaining a university place or a professional career will be very low. Each centre will see 900 ‘unique’ students.
