Full event details

This session offers your learners an authentic, relatable introduction to student life—led by a current university student who shares first-hand experiences, practical tips, and honest reflections about their academic and social journey.

Delivered either on campus or in your school, the talk brings Higher Education to life in a way that’s accessible and meaningful for students at all stages of decision-making. Whether your learners are excited about university or unsure if it’s the right path, this session provides a fresh perspective from someone they can connect with.

Topics covered include:

?? Academic Life – transitioning from school to university, managing timetables, independent study, and balancing workloads
??? Accommodation & Living Arrangements – halls vs private housing, communal life, budgeting for rent, and settling in
?? Student Support – how students access wellbeing services, academic guidance, and career support
?? Social Opportunities – clubs, societies, part-time jobs, and making friends
?? Money Management – budgeting tips, student discounts, and making the most of support available


A Q&A segment allows your students to ask real, unfiltered questions—creating honest dialogue and breaking down myths or worries. By hearing directly from a current student, learners build a clearer picture of university life, boosting their confidence and curiosity about what lies ahead.
