North Yorkshire Higher Education Collaboration
The North Yorkshire Coast Higher Education Collaboration (NYCHEC) is a joint initiative by The University of Hull, The University of York, and York St. John University, designed to widen access to higher education through the provision of high-quality collaborative outreach and information, advice and guidance. It has been operating since 2012-13.
The scheme operates across school years 7 to 11 and incorporates activities ranging from campus visits, to family engagement events, subject tasters, assemblies, CPD events, parents’ evenings, careers events and in-school workshops.
Running alongside the main NYCHEC activities is a smaller, targeted project working with a selected band of academically able but disadvantaged pupils in a more intensive programme called ‘High Five’. This includes campus-based careers days, research events, conferences, and some subject-specific opportunities.
