For A level, degree and independent students

The right starting point, from day one.

For students anywhere in the world.

Find the right course for your grades, location and goals. Take on real business challenges — inside your curriculum or independently from anywhere in the world. Build a body of verified work that gets you noticed before you graduate. That body of work is your Industry Passport.

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.

48%

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 — ranking students on what they actually did, not on a CV they wrote about themselves. The best performers get seen, contacted, and hired — before they've even graduated.

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.

The Industry Passport

A portable record of the work you've actually done.

Complete a sprint, earn a verified badge tied to the company that set the brief. Pin them to LinkedIn, your CV, anywhere — each one links straight back to your submission and the score it received.

No vague claims. No skills you can't back up. The work speaks for itself.

Peer mentorship

Learn from the year above. Lead the year below.

University students lead sprint teams of A-level and independent cohorts taking on junior-tier briefs. Students anywhere in the world get real guidance from someone who has already done the work. University students get verified leadership experience — the thing every graduate employer asks for and almost nobody can prove.

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.
