The Brilliant Club is a charity that works across the UK, helping less advantaged young people to get into the most competitive universities and to succeed when they get there.
Our programme, Join the Dots, supports you in Years 12 and 13 as you prepare for university, and helps you find your feet quickly when you get there.
How does Join the Dots work?
The step up to university is one of the biggest life changes you can make, and Join the Dots has been designed to support you through the transition into university study.
