This programme starts in Year 12 / L3 Y1 and follows students through to Year 13 / L3 Y2. It follows on nicely from our Post-18 pathways and is designed to offer a more in-depth and hands on experience to a small group of students.
There are 3 exploration packed days. To get the most benefit students should attend all 3 days. Each day includes a range of fun and engaging activities, including talks, workshops and tours. Your students will get to work with our staff and current UEA students.
Day 1 – January 2024
An interactive day, filled with talks and activities exploring post-18 pathways, the benefits of HE and how to choose a course and higher education institution.
Day 2 – March 2024
Students will explore additional opportunities, how to look after their wellbeing, student finance, and how to get started on their personal statement.
Day 3 – October 2024
Support to produce personal statements and refresher sessions on how to apply. Students will get the chance to start writing their statements and receive hands-on guidance in this session.
