Outreach and widening participation
Whether your students are thinking about university, exploring different post-school or college options, or want to know more about a specific subject – we are here to help.
The Outreach Team organises a range of activities and events for students primarily in years 12 and 13 (or equivalent). The aim of these activities is to inspire and raise awareness of higher education, supporting students to make informed decisions about their future.
All activities and events are free of charge, and funding is available to support the cost of travel to our campuses.
