School Visits
What we offer
We regularly visit schools and colleges to deliver activities which raise awareness of why students choose to go to university, what everyday life at university is like, and to offer support with UCAS applications.
We also offer presentations and workshops on higher education topics. These are flexible and can be scheduled at a time and date to suit you and your students. Please get in touch to find out more, or to book a workshop, by emailing the team at outreachevents@marjon.ac.uk.
Fees and funding made clear
We can talk to students about the Student Finance England application process and financial packages. We are also able to break down the various funding options including student loans, bursaries and grants, and discuss the repayment system.
Moving out
University students are often be moving away from home for the first time, and will need to consider accommodation, bills and budgeting. We can talk about all of this, as well as covering the sports, clubs and work experience opportunities available as part of university life. Often, a current student at the university will come along to talk about their experience so far.
Application advice
We're happy to run through the application process, one step at a time. We'll talk about UCAS, how and when to apply, critical application dates and managing the application from start to finish.
Choosing a subject to study
With so many courses available, choosing the right one can be a challenge. Our presentation arms students with the questions they shoud be asking when choosing what to study. We'll discuss the range of courses available and how to find out more about the key factors which might influence decisions.
Personal statements
We can guide students on how to tackle their personal statement. We'll dish out useful tips and techniques for writing a winning piece, plus we'll let students in on exactly what universities are looking for.
