Brilliant Club

Brilliant Club is a charity who mobilise the PhD community to support students who are less advantaged to access the most competitive universities and succeed when they get there.  One of their programs is called The Scholars Programme.

Brilliant Club have been training their PhD tutors to deliver The Scholars Programme in partner schools and colleges across the UK since 2011. They share their subject knowledge and passion for learning with small groups of pupils aged 8-18. It helps them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to secure a place at a competitive university. Research using data from the Higher Education Access Tracker (HEAT) has shown that The Scholars Programme also has a positive impact on GCSE attainment. Students who did The Scholars Programme in Year 8, 9 or 10 were more likely to achieve a 9-5 in maths and English than students who scored similarly at Key Stage 2 within their schools.

The programme is available to non-selective state schools across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is structured around seven tutorials, and pupils also attend a Graduation Event at a partner university to speak with current undergraduates and learn about university life. Each Scholars Programme placement is for 14 pupils, who are taught in two groups of seven. They work towards completing a challenging final assignment which is marked and moderated using university grades.
