20 Sep Year 13 University of Westminster Trip
Well done!
On Wednesday 17th September Year 13 went to visit University of Westminster as a continuation of their post-18 enrichment and understanding. During July we visited University of Essex to find out what a “campus” looks like; this time we were looking at a “city” university. We coincided with enrolment day at the Marylebone site – so a real sense of busyness and buzz around the building, which happens to be opposite Madame Tussauds.
We heard from two members of their team about putting together the best personal statement and the application process via UCAS, and then another presentation about the financial element – student finance. Both complemented the work done in post-18 week at the end of Year 12 and the student finance acted as a prelude to the talk we give to students and parents in February/March.
The advice of what to say, where to research and how to budget are all key to students progressing along their pathway once they leave us. Whilst we were at a university, it was important information for those thinking of taking an apprenticeship route or going straight into a job.
An excellent afternoon which will help our students stand out to universities and future employers – a big thank you to Ms Vincent for organising the trip and to Caitlin Pedder of University of Westminster for hosting us and creating the programme.
