Course Planning for Year 13

The following universities will be coming to school during lunchtime in Term 1 to introduce their university. See the key dates for when this will be. The major universities come again in Term 3 to help Year 13 with planning their first year university course. The Term 1 visits are designed to showcase the degrees and facilities they offer and the Term 3 visits are to answer your questions about how to choose courses for your first year at university, as well as answering any queries about admission and accommodation. Sessions will be held in MH6 at lunchtime.

Students can also ask questions or arrange an online meeting with the liaison officers from other universities by email.

Some universities do not have these sheets (not bolded below) so I have just added a link to their subject options.
