Associate Institutions Network

This pre HE group of associate schools and colleges is a new development for the University of Hull and its partners. It is designed to recognise collaboration with a tripartite focus of sixth form colleges/FE colleges and schools working jointly with the University of Hull as Associate Institutions Advisory Group.

Associate Institutions are identified as those sharing a joint social responsibility in addressing the social and economic challenges in the region through informing and facilitating progression and student recruitment.  A second focus for the network will be through providing a forum and focus for collaborative debate on pertinent educational policy and practice, including the implications for teacher training and continuing professional development.

Membership of the Associate Institutions Network is by invitation and encompasses schools and colleges who work in partnership with the University of Hull for a wide range of purposes and at different levels of intensity.

Interaction for young people includes activities relating to raising aspiration and awareness of learning opportunities at HE level, direct recruitment activities, and bespoke activities with cohorts of learners (see link to menu of activities).

For would-be teachers/teachers/tutors/educational managers, there are opportunities from initial teacher training through to continuous professional development in subject and practice, and accredited programmes, such as Masters and PhDs (see link to professional development opportunities).

There is also the opportunity to consider educational policy and to provide a regional voice on consultations which affect learning pre HE (see link to forum activities).
