Learn with US (Outreach)

The University of Southampton’s Learn with US (Outreach) programme is designed to support students, parents and teachers. We have a range of events and activities to engage and motivate learners who have the potential to enter higher education, but who may not currently be considering it.

Learn with US (Outreach) works in partnership with schools and colleges in Hampshire and surrounding areas to improve academic attainment and intellectual self-confidence, raise aspirations and increase awareness of university education. Academically gifted students are selected to join the Learn with US (Outreach) programme and take part in a series of aspiration raising activities, enabling them to sample a wide range of university subjects.

Is my school eligible to join the Learn with US (Outreach) programme?

Our partner schools and colleges meet a number of widening participation indicators. School data sets are compiled in partnership with the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT) Service, and sourced from the Department for Education and the Higher Education Statistics Agency. Primary schools in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are invited to join the programme in Year 6 and the programme continues throughout secondary school and sixth form/college. Schools further afield are able to join the programme in Year 9. To find out if your school or college is eligible to join the Learn with US programme, or to enquire about a school visit – please contact outreach@soton.ac.uk.
