Being involved with sports and societies provides the opportunity to have fun and develop life skills such as leadership, teamwork and organisational skills.

In addition to these opportunities, we are developing a brand-new student enrichment offering: the John Snow College Futures Programme.

This aims to help prepare our students for the world into which they will graduate. Irrespective of our students’ studies or career aspirations, all futures will be affected by geo strategic trends and the tech revolution. The programme centres around four themes:

• The world of 2030. Understanding the implications of the 4^th Industrial Revolution.

• Human attributes. Developing and demonstrating the attributes only humans will offer in an increasingly automated world.

• Networks and networking. Maximising opportunity for all, irrespective of social background.  Developing an alumni network of networks and equipping students with the skills to succeed at networking. 

• Opportunity North East.  Opening our students’ eyes to career and entrepreneurship opportunities in the region.
