The University Roadshow visits GHS Year 13 Students
The University Roadshow visited our Year 13 students today to showcase up to date information about the wide variety of third level opportunities available to them.
It provided useful information for all students intending to apply to universities in: England, Scotland, Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Europe. This was an opportunity for our students to speak to and gather information from representatives from the 9 Universities that attended.
After a short 20 minute presentation to the students covering all aspects of applying to university which covered the application system UCAS, students then had the opportunity to go around each of the university stands and speak to the exhibiters present about their course of interest.
