University courses from Art to Zoology

Over 120 Year 12 students attended UCAS Conventions, hosted at either Leeds or Sheffield Sheffield University.    Students were able to meet representatives from universities throughout the UK, in addition to employers and apprenticeship providers. There were also seminars on Medicine, applying to Oxford and Cambridge, Natural Sciences, and Student Finance.    Over 120 Year 12 students attended UCAS Conventions, hosted at either Leeds or Sheffield Sheffield University.    Students were able to meet representatives from universities throughout the UK, in addition to employers and apprenticeship providers.

The UCAS days are so valuable to our students to help with decision making.”   Thank you to NCOP Higher York, Richmond School Trustees, and the Careers and Enterprise Company. These partner organisations have sponsored the transport to UCAS events to enable so many students to benefit.
