Hi Anonymous

Whilst each PARTNERS subject strand is different in terms of teaching, the Summer School is generally the same for all PARTNERS students in terms of structure.

The PARTNERS Academic Summer School (PASS) is designed to give you an early introduction to various aspects of Higher Education study and help you to prepare for life at Newcastle University.

PASS is taught by undergraduate lecturers in the same subject field that you apply to as your firm choice course. During the event, you will meet some of your undergraduate lecturers, use Newcastle University facilities to complete academic tasks and get to know other students on your course.

Upon completion of PASS, we hope this will mean that you feel more confident in your ability to be successful at Newcastle University and that you'll be more than ready to begin studying at Higher Education level once the first semester begins in the autumn.

In order to successfully complete PARTNERS. you will need to submit a formative assessment. This will be outlined by your strand leader during PASS and the deadline may be after the Summer School, therefore we recommend that you keep some time set aside to complete your formative assessment in the week after PASS.

Your time is made up of sessions and activities within four key components:

•

Academic sessions

•

Higher education study skills

•

Careers & Employability module

•

Social events

Hope this helps
