Last term Year 10 students visited Staffordshire University campus and the University of Birmingham campus to get a taste of university life.
The day began with a tour of the campus and the students had their lunch in the student refectory. In the afternoon, activities included creating a super hero student, a presentation on courses and academic opportunities, along with a guide to the social side of student life. University Student Ambassadors took the lead and were able to answer the many questions posed by Year 10 students.
Mr Rose, CEIAG Lead said, “These types of trips are very useful for those student who are considering going to university, but also for those who are not sure yet. The trip gave students the opportunity to experience what university can be like and ask questions to current university students.”
Year 10 Student, Naiela Riaz said, “I enjoyed the campus tour and creating the superhero student, it was very fun and very informative”
An additional trip to another university campus is planned for the autumn term to enable more students to get a glimpse of what studying at university is like.
