Higher Horizons

Higher Horizons is a partnership of universities and colleges working together to enable aspirations in Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire. Our teams, based across Keele, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Harper Adams Universities, work with young people to create pathways through further and higher education and into employment. We are funded by the Office for Students as part of the Uni Connect programme, to work in areas with low rates of progression to higher education.

Since our launch in 2017, the team have seen over 100,000 interactions with young people. UCAS data shows that young people who engage in our programme are 2.5 times more likely to progress to university than their peers.

Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic Higher Horizons has moved a lot of our activities online, with a host of new and engaging digital resources to help young people make informed choices about their educational progression.

Study Skills and Wellbeing

We hope we can get back to engaging with schools and colleges face-to-face soon, welcoming young people on to our campuses and visiting them in school.
Until then, we’ll see you online.
