Partner University Placement Scheme
The Partner University Placement Scheme (PUPS) is a programme designed to promote social inclusion and ethnic diversity within the FCO. The programme is open to 1st and 2nd year undergraduates who are in receipt of a full maintenance grant or from a minority ethnic background, and attend one of our partner universities.
We have partnered with ten universities who were chosen because they:
- scored highly in terms of academic achievement as measured by the Higher Education Standards Authority
- have a high number of UK national black and minority ethnic students and
- have a high number of students in receipt of a full maintenence grant or equivalent.
Our partner universities are:
- Bath
- Bristol
- Cambridge
- Durham
- Edinburgh
- King’s College London
- Manchester
- Nottingham
- Oxford
- University College London
To gain a place on this scheme, students will be asked to demonstrate an interest in learning more about the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and what we do.
Applications for places in Summer 2010 will open in Spring 2010. Full details will be available on this webpage at that time.
