Exploring Post-18 Options at Brunel University

Our Year 12 students went on a an exciting trip to Brunel university as part of their personal development day. The trip was facilitated by the universities widening participation team and aimed to allow students to explore their post-18 options. Students had a talk about their options first and students were able to ask questions about both university courses and degree apprenticeships. This was followed by a presentation from a number of current Brunel university students who were studying different courses and had experienced different entry routes to university level education.

Our year 12 students then had an enjoyable and interesting tour of the university teaching and recreational facilities followed by lunch. The day was completed by a walkthrough of the university application process and a discussion by school staff of how this would be supported at the Westgate school.
