Exploring options for higher education and their future careers

Our annual Launch Day took place on Monday 18 March 2019 to help International Baccalaureate students explore their options for higher education and their future careers.

We were joined by a range of universities who provided taster lectures on biomedical science, social sciences, material sciences, engineering, arts, and humanities. Our Careers Launch Day helped to demystify the UK, US, Australia, Netherlands and Canada admissions process, and provided useful tips on how to write a strong personal statement.

It was a fantastic day, and we even welcomed back five alumni who provided interesting talks on apprenticeships and taking a gap year. The event included a session on how to plan for a gap year.

In the evening we hosted a Student World University Fair, which was well attended. The event provided an opportunity for students to explore their preferred subject offering and meet university representatives.
