Help your GRT students with their UCAS applications
Applying to university is daunting for all students, but especially for those whose families have no experience of higher education. Why not explore our wide range of ‘How To’ resources to help your GRT students craft a stand out application?
Negotiating the UCAS system and creating a strong application can be daunting, but on our popular Get Career Confident website, you can discover a suite of ‘How To’ videos dedicated to applying for university .
The five-minute videos are informal and information packed making them ideal content to share with GRT students and their families. They’re also perfect for progression talks, UCAS information sessions, careers guidance chats and tutor periods.
You’ll find that they cover everything from how to choose a university, to how to access financial support. They also cover writing personal statements, avoiding application pitfalls and how to respond to university offers when they start coming in.
If you’re laying on dedicated university visits for your GRT students or wanting to prepare students for next year’s university open days, there’s also a handy guide to the best questions to ask so that your students can get the most out of their visits.
You can also contact our Programme Manager Debra Vice-Holt to set up any of your GRT learners and their families up with dedicated support to help them navigate their higher education options and the process of applying for places, accommodation and financial support. Our team can also help organise special site visits to your local Higher Education Institute where we can link your GRT students up with colleagues with an understanding of their culture, needs and challenges.
So why not explore our resources or get in touch today? Together, we can ensure that as many young people as possible have the tools they need to make exciting, informed choices when taking their next steps...
