We show students what university life is really like.
Led by recent graduates, this session offers honest insight into the transition to university, helping students understand what to expect and how they can thrive.
Applying through UCAS
We guide students through the application process step by step.

Visits
We offer on-campus experiences to help bring these pathways to life.
Visits can be tailored to your students’ needs and may include subject-specific workshops, tours and access to specialist facilities, including our Institute of Technology.
It’s an opportunity for students to experience the environment, ask questions and start to picture their next step.
Subject tasters
Our Subject Taster sessions help students explore their interests, experience different subject areas and hear directly from our academics. Sessions can be delivered at your college, online or on campus, where students can also explore our facilities and learning spaces.
