Further examples of Russell Group universities providing information, advice and guidance
The Russell Group and its member universities invest significant time and resources in developing and delivering high quality information, advice and guidance initiatives to address the lack of relevant information – or worse, misinformation – that can create ‘false barriers’ to access.
Each University of Oxford college is linked with a local authority in the UK to ensure that each school has a first point of contact within the university.

Participants are identified by their school as being high achieving and from backgrounds currently under-represented in higher education.
The London School of Economics and Political Science’s programme, Moving On, supports children in their move from primary to secondary school by showing them that change happens throughout life and can be a positive experience.
