Holly Smith, an admissions tutor from Surrey University came on Monday to address the Yr12 students about the UCAS process. She explained the different types of university that exist: campus, city and split-site and painted a graphic picture of the multitude of universities there are in this country, highlighting the need for our students to think carefully about the location of the university of their choice. This complemented nicely the work we have done earlier this term looking at Course Search on the UCAS website which similarly illustrates the plethora of courses there are to choose from.
Next term Year 12 will begin the UCAS process in earnest, researching courses and universities in greater depth and beginning to think about the design of their Personal Statements.
