Intro

Research has shown raising awareness of higher education starts in the early years.  We offer a range of activities for pupils in primary, which includes visits to our campus. 

Please note our activities are targeted at those who are underrepresented in higher education. We ask that two thirds of the group that attend the activity are selected from our targeting criteria outlined below:

  • Those who are first in their family to attend higher education.
  • Those on free school meals.
  • Those with additional needs.
  • Those in the care of the local authority (looked after children).
  • Those who are service children.

For more information regarding our primary programme and availability, please contact schoolsoutreach@mmu.ac.uk.
