Excellence Hub - Yorkshire and Humber
Get involved
The Excellence Hub for Yorkshire and Humber is a regional collaboration between the Universities of Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York. The purpose of the programme is to develop exciting and purposeful opportunities for high achieving young people to help enrich their experiences in school/college.
Events delivered through the Excellence Hub for Yorkshire and Humber are open to students from across the UK who have been identified by their school or college as being high achieving. Please note that from January 2012 there will be new additional eligibility criteria and a revised application process for students wanting to attend the Excellence Hub events.
Eligibility criteria from January 2012
