Welcome to Aimhigher...
West Area Partnership

Nowadays more young people than ever before are going into higher education (HE) in universities and colleges. And by 2010 we hope that half of UK adults under 30 will have experienced higher education. HE can open doors to all sorts of new possibilities and with over 50,000 courses at more than 500 colleges and universities there is more choice than ever before. We want all young people in our Area, no matter what their background, to make the best choices possible for them about HE.

This website provides information and advice for young people and their parents, carers and supporters about going on to Higher Education (HE) and how this can be achieved. It also provides information about the activities, resources and support we can give to professionals in our Area who are working with those young people, so we can work together to motivate them to achieve their full potential.
