About Aimhigher

Aimhigher is a governmentally funded programme, which aims to get more teenagers to go to university. The students have to meet several criteria in order to become members of the cohort. The criteria being;

1. Ability - students must have the ability/potential to get at least 5 A-C at GCSE or a Distinction in a BTEC.
2. Aptitude - students must have the aptitude for University

We offer many different trips and tasters to lots of different universities/HE Colleges. We have excellent contacts with both Sussex and Chichester Universities.

We are able to book University tasters in most subject areas. Tasters we've already been on include: Animal Care, Child Care, Dance, ICT, Law, Media Studies, Performing Arts and Science (Marine Biology).

Tasters often have limited place (usually no more than 15 students) in those cases, whilst we may ask a subject teacher to identify which students should be invited to attend we will endeavour to ensure the majority of them are part of our AH cohort.
