At the end of September we welcomed to the College eight former pupils – attending either in person or online – for this term’s University Ambassadors session.
The session is part of the wider ‘My Future’ programme, and is designed to support our pupils during the university application process and in their next steps after leaving the College. Over 100 Sixth Formers attended the session, accompanied by Nat Payne, Head of University Applications at the College.
During the session current pupils had the opportunity to hear about key features of a variety of universities and courses directly from recent leavers who are now at university. Topics such as location, subject specialities and student life were discussed during the sessions. Our pupils were also able to ask specific questions about personal experiences, clubs and societies, work experience available locally, as well as getting specific advice on the institutions’ application process.
The universities represented this year were Cambridge, University College London, Sheffield, Warwick, Roehampton, London School of Economics, King's College, Exeter and Durham. Courses included History, Biological Sciences, Archaeology, Mathematics, International Relations, Politics and Engineering.
The programme is vital in supporting our Upper Sixth pupils and providing additional advice before they finalise their choices and during the UCAS application process. Moreover, Lancing’s University Ambassadors will be helpful points of contact upon arrival at university, supporting our pupils as they settle into university life.
