Apologies for the late reply we’ve only just received some sort of answer all be it not very useful. The lecturer confirms that the +1 can be for pretty much anyone including friends and relations. They apparently will not have the full documents until April so that is likely when we will know more. Going by what you’ve all said there are no visas that allow for this as a true +1, so could this be a situation where the +1 gets a whole un-related visa and just lives with the other? Apologies if that sounds stupid I have no idea about any of this and no idea where to look.

Thank you all for your contributions, my partner is adamant that I will be able to go, however, we are going to clarify everything tomorrow with one of her lecturers. I will update this topic when I can provide more information.

My partner (unmarried, not engaged) is going to the US (from the UK) for just under a year as part of their University degree, all expenses paid by the University. They get to take a +1 (me), also with most expenses paid for and we do not know much information about it currently. What information should we know or where can we look for it to prepare properly? I am not sure what category(s) it falls under for me. For example, can I work over there? Can I stay for the same amount of time? I appreciate any help you can provide.
