Year 8 & 9 Students Explore University Life

Last week, Year 8 and 9 students welcomed Jade, an Outreach Officer from the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), to learn more about higher education and the opportunities available after school.

During the session, Jade spoke about life at university, including accommodation, lectures, student societies and placement years. Students also took part in an interactive quiz and question-and-answer session.

Jade explained that there are many different routes into university and that students do not always need the highest grades to be successful. She also highlighted the specialist facilities offered by different universities, including science laboratories, mock courtrooms and fashion studios.

Students were encouraged to research their options and speak to teachers, family members and others who have experienced university life to help them make informed decisions about their future.
