Outreach and Student Recruitment

We cover a range of HE topics such as:

• Why Go? Exploring the benefits of Higher Education
• Researching Universities and Courses, enabling students to make an informed choice when choosing a University and course
• Student finance
• Writing an effective personal statement
• Student life
• Why choose Chichester?

Interactive group workshops or group presentations are offered to support students when planning and formulating their UCAS personal statements, identifying an appropriate structure, key content, technique and importantly essential tips required to make a successful application.

The team can also deliver 1:1 clinics for students to access support in those final stages of their personal statement and also offer support via email.

We recognise the importance of providing students with current information on the finance process in a relevant and impartial manner.

This can be delivered either as a presentation or in a workshop format. Sessions include the costs of University, the availability of funding and the process of applying for finance.

Our campus days include:

• Year 12 Progression Days - Progression Days are on-campus events that are supported by Ambassadors and enable students to learn more about the type of courses available, the benefits of going to university, student finance and how to choose a course and university
• Subjects tasters
• Campus tours

In response to feedback, we have developed pre and post UCAS Convention Workshops specifically designed to provide students with all the relevant information needed when attending UCAS conventions. These workshops help students plan effectively before the visit, ask key questions during the event and analyse the materials, prospectuses and information gathered after the event.
