London Uni Connect aims to support young people to make informed decisions about what to do after they finish school or sixth form college.  We provide impartial advice and guidance to help young people choose the option which is best for them, whether that is studying for a degree, a diploma, doing an apprenticeship or something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

London Uni Connect works with young people, their parents and carers and teachers and advisors across Greater London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are part of the national Uni Connect programme, funded by the Office for Students <\/a>(OfS) which is the independent regulator for universities in England.  We work with specific target groups of young people who may face particular challenges getting into higher education or succeeding once they get onto a course.  Find out more here<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The London Uni Connect partnership is made up of three networks working in collaboration to serve different parts of London and different target groups.  London South Bank University is the lead Higher Education Institution, and the networks we work with and the regions they cover are shown on the map below, including Linking London<\/a> (all London), Aimhigher London<\/a> (shaded blue) and AccessHE<\/a> (shaded yellow) – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want all young people to reach their full potential and to gain the qualifications they need to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.  So, for this reason we prioritise certain target audiences who we know are less likely to go into higher education (HE) and who are less likely to do well once they are there because of the additional barriers and challenges they may face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These target audiences include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
