"Be Bold with Gold" is a workshop for year 12 students, led by Goldsmiths staff and students. It demystifies higher education, covering topics like accommodation, finance, and university life.
Be Bold with Gold is a workshop for year 12s which aims to demystify all things about higher education, enabling them to get university ready.
The 90-minute session can be held at your school or college and will be presented by a Goldsmiths staff member along with current students, giving your pupils a fantastic opportunity to ask any university-related questions in real life. Be Bold with Gold can also be held on campus at Goldsmiths. This can also include a campus tour if required.
Your students will learn about topics including university accommodation, transport and how student finance, scholarships, bursaries and grants work. They'll also get to know about day-to-day life as a student - how many hours of study, seminars and lectures they will undertake, how courses and modules work and of course, the all-important university social life - societies and other fun to be had on and off campus.
Pupils who attended this session have said it greatly increased their knowledge of university.
