Our student recruitment team has considerable experience in higher education. We're passionate about delivering engaging and inspiring activities to pupils, and offering encouragement towards their journey to university.

Our outreach activities offer pupils, teachers, and advisers access to a range of events and useful resources.

We provide a variety of pre and post-16 activities and events. We design them to support pupils from all backgrounds, raise aspirations, and give them the information they need to make clear choices about their future.

We also offer opportunities for teachers and advisers, such as career development and the chance to network with other education professionals:

Post-16 events and activities

We offer a range of engaging activities for your Year 12 and 13 students. You could book a workshop on the UCAS system, student finance, or how to write a personal statement. Or, come on campus for a subject taster session where you can meet our academic staff and use our facilities.
