By Mrs Collins, Director of University Admissions

We were delighted to welcome back to the Sixth Form Centre a number of alumnae who are current university students, or recent graduates, to engage with Year 13 about what life is like as a student in 2022.

Our visitors represented a wide range of universities including Edinburgh, Birmingham, UCL, Cambridge and SOAS, and a spectrum of subjects. They were able to share their wisdom about everything from gap years, work placement options, settling in and making friends, sports, lectures and accommodation. As always, advice from their peers is always invaluable in helping year 13 make their shortlist of 5 courses for their UCAS applications. The informal conversations went on long into the evening and were enormously well received.
