For A level, degree and independent students
Real work. Real employers. A clear path to a job before you've graduated.
Find the right course, take on real business challenges, and build a body of work that gets you hired.
The problem
Qualified on paper, untested in practice.
Finding the right course is harder than it should be. Most students spend weeks searching across multiple platforms, comparing courses that may not even fit their grades, location, or where they want to go in life.
They apply. They wait. They start a course that felt right on paper — only to find that the work experience attached to it has nothing to do with what they're studying or who they want to become.
Unemployment among recent graduates has hit its highest level in over a decade.
< 1 in 3
graduates globally find work in their field within a year of graduating.

of recent graduates feel unprepared to apply for entry-level roles.
The problem isn't ability. It's alignment.
The solution
Not theory. Practice.
New Horizons builds the bridge between what you study and where you're going.
01
The right course, found properly.
Based on your grades, location and goals. No more searching. No more guessing.
02
Real work, your way.
Take on live business challenges as part of your coursework, or independently from anywhere in the world. Inside the classroom or outside it — the work is real, verified and builds your Industry Passport.
03
A track record that follows you
Every challenge you complete is visible to real employers long before you graduate. Your shot at a job starts the moment you start working — not the moment you apply.
The reward
Do the work. Get seen. Get hired.
You aren't paid in points or badges. You're paid in something universities have always promised and rarely delivered: a real line of sight to a job.
Companies watch the work as it happens. The best performers get seen, contacted and hired — before they graduate. Your Industry Passport is what they see — the work you did, the score you received, the brief you solved.
No black-box ranking. No agency middleman. Just the work, and who saw it.
Getting seen means employers can already see your Industry Passport — the work you did, the grade you received, the brief you solved. Before you apply. Before the interview. Before they've even posted the role.

Peer mentorship
Learn from the year above. Lead the year below.

Five years on the platform. One continuous track record.
Leadership hours and peer reviews count toward the university lead's own Industry Passport score — because leading a team is real work too.
