Hi,
Could you mention any outreach opportunities (preferably for Year 12 and 13 students) which we could be involved with in the future. Do you have any outreach opportunities specifically for widening participation students (e.g. if they are the first in the their household to go to University)?
Here at Bath we offer a range of outreach opportunities. You can find out more about opportunities offered by our Widening Participation Office, which includes Summer Schools for under-represented groups, on our WP webpages: http://www.bath.ac.uk/groups/widening-participation/
Our Student Recruitment team carry out both school and campus visits for schools and colleges, as well as Uni Taster residential events for Science and Engineering (http://www.bath.ac.uk/events/residential-uni-taster-for-science-and-engineering/) and Humanities and Social Sciences (http://www.bath.ac.uk/events/residential-uni-taster-for-humanities-and-social-sciences/).
If you would like more information on our outreach activities please contact [email removed] or for WP specific activities please contact [email removed]
Hi,
At Edge Hill, our Education Liaison and Events team offer a variety of outreach activities and events which are designed to support Year 12 and Year 13 students towards entering Higher Education.
As well as providing impartial information, advice and guidance on a range of topics such as the UCAS application process, Student Finance, and writing Personal Statements, the team also run campus based events which are designed to encourage students knowledge of Higher Education.
In addition to our Open Days and bespoke campus visits for Year 12 and 13 groups, some of our campus based events include:
- Subject specific taster days
- Higher Education Preparation Days
- EHU Summer Residentials (a free four-day, three night summer residential visit which allows Year 12 students to experience
life on campus, as well as a taste of studying their chosen subject at undergraduate level)
-EHU Biology Olympiad Competition
For more information or to contact the team, please visit https://www.edgehill.ac.uk/studentrecruitment/
Our Widening Participation team can also offer bespoke outreach for students who may be facing barriers into Higher Education, via the organization of bespoke campus visits and the delivery of targeted workshops in schools and colleges.
Students who meet our Widening Participation criteria can also access additional support in regards to applying for our Residentials programme, and other campus based activity.
For more information or to discuss WP outreach and support, please contact me using the details on our webpage: https://www.edgehill.ac.uk/studentrecruitment/meet-the-education-liaison-team/
Best Wishes,
