Activities take place in the Summer term and we’d love to see your students take part in all four sessions. They’ll get to take part in:
Assembly style session: In-school (10-20 mins)
An introduction to university from current UEA students who share their experiences at and journey to university.
Interactive Workshop 1: In-school (45 minutes)
Take a deep dive into the skills needed to make effective decisions and how to create plans.
UEA Campus visit: On-campus (6 hours)
University is about so much more than textbooks and studying. Visiting our campus is an opportunity for students to get a real insight into the amazing variety of activities, clubs, courses, societies and experiences that make up university life. They’ll get to take part in activities that help them decide if university will feature in their future.
Interactive workshop 2: In-school (45 minutes)
Follow up workshop to embed the skills that have been developed and focus on the next steps in terms of decision making
