Supported Progression (SP) is a programme for Year 12 students. Some students who have the potential to study with us will benefit from extra help and support. We aim to give these students the chance to show their potential in a different way. By passing the assessed summer school project, you can work toward a guaranteed, conditional offer from us as well as developing your academic skills.
As an SP student, you will have the opportunity to come to events and activities during Years 12 and 13. You’ll learn about Durham and all we have to offer you. Our students need a few key personal skills to succeed at university. We’ll help you work on some of them, such as presentation skills, budgeting, time management, and so on! Our aim is to ensure you go through our scheme and come out the other side confident and assured of your own ability.
Applications for Supported Progression 2022 are now open! This year's programme gives you a chance in Year 12 to get ahead of the curve and experience different sides of life at Durham, from academic tasters to a vibrant social programme.
The deadline for applications this year is the end of the day on 14th January 2022. If you'd like more information on the programme, please use the Get in Touch link below or email us at supported.progression@durham.ac.uk.
Teachers/Advisers can also book a visit from us to talk to you about our programme and everything we hope you'll get out of working with us.

We’ll help you to find your way around UCAS and student finance, as well as give you support with your personal statement. We hope that SP will help you build the knowledge, confidence, and resilience to join us at Durham.
