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)
Meet current UEA students who will share their pathways through education and their journeys 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. Your students will discover a range of post-18 options and learn where their post-16 choices could lead.
UEA Campus visit: On-campus (6 hours)
University is about so much more than textbooks and studying. Visiting UEA campus will give your students a real insight into the huge variety of courses, clubs, societies and experiences that make up university life. They’ll take part in activities that will help them decide if university will feature in their future, with plenty of opportunities to talk to current UEA students and ask the big questions.
Interactive workshop 2: In-school (45 minutes)
We’ll return to your school for a follow-up workshop, embedding the skills that your students have developed and helping them identify their next steps.
