The School and College Engagement Team have a range of events and activities to inspire and support your students.
This popular activity is aimed at younger students in Year 7 and 8, who are given the task of creating a fictional character which they will take on a journey through school, further education, university, and the working world.
Students will be given a description of their student, including their background and interests and they will develop a progression route from GCSE, through to further and higher education, using a range of literature and guidelines, eventually following their student through into a career of their choice. At the end of the session, students will present their character’s journey and explain decisions taken at various stages of their educational life.
Delivered at the school site or as part of a campus day for 30 students, 2 hours duration.
We deliver a range of dynamic events, free of charge, such as: workshops, masterclasses and talks, to bring the university learning experience directly to your classrooms. We also offer a range of subject specific events and taster days to give students an exciting insight into the degree options available, as well as a feel for what it is like to experience student life at university.
