Realising Opportunities (RO) is a unique collaboration of 12 leading universities, working together to promote fair access and social mobility of students from under-represented groups. Students are supported through a coherent programme of activities designed to raise their aspirations to progress to research intensive universities. Successful completion of the RO programme leads to the potential of an alternative offer through UCAS from 10 of our 12 partner universities, and additional recognition for a UCAS application from all partners.
