Students from a wide range of subject areas, including Business, Media, Criminal Law, Nursing, Midwifery, Art & Design and Sport, had the opportunity to explore progression routes and speak directly with university representatives about their future plans.
To help them make the most of the event, students were provided with suggested questions to ask, encouraging meaningful conversations about courses, entry requirements, student life, career prospects and support services. The fair was a fantastic opportunity for students to gain valuable insights and take positive steps towards their higher education journey.
From our university colleagues:
'We very much enjoyed coming to the college, the students were highly engaged and asked some meaningful questions. We look forward to supporting the students at future events.' Chloe de Speville, The University of Law
‘It was great getting to meet many of your students, who engaged well and communicated their plans efficiently, as well as asking lots of relevant and intelligent questions! Celine Scott, Southampton Solent
From our tutors:
‘The feedback from the learners has been overwhelmingly positive. Although many had already identified a few universities they were interested in, attending the fair helped them narrow down their choices and feel more confident in their decisions. For those who were unsure where to begin, the event provided an excellent starting point.
The learners also felt that the structured questions they were given beforehand were extremely useful. They said these helped them focus their conversations and ensured they gathered the information they needed. Many felt they would have struggled to know what to ask otherwise.
They came back to class full of enthusiasm and excitement, which was fantastic to see. Several students mentioned that they intended to go through the prospectuses and information they were given with their parents and family members.
Overall, it was a highly successful event that clearly had a positive impact on my learners’. Dawn Davis, Tutor, South Thames College
