So once you are here, what should you be doing when you are not in lessons? Well, it depends on which year you are in. Foundation students need to act very fast to get involved in activities you can put on your university application. You can sign up for leadership awards or the fastest thing is to take an online university course to show commitment to your subject area. Details of this are all in your Key Professions booklet.
If you are in your first year of A level or IB you have more time. This year is really vital and you have to keep asking yourself, do I have enough things which show my commitment to my subject area to go on my university application? Go through your Key Professions booklet or see Dan Issitt our Key Professions Co- ordinator, and he will help you with anything you need to do. There are about 120 activities in college each year so there is lots to choose from. You then need to think, how can I make this relevant to my university application? How have these activities helped develop me as a person and show I would be a real asset to any university and that I have a passion for the subject I want to learn?
The photos here show our students being given individual or small group support in science after school by a local university. Other students meet with the University of Kent for support with their lawyers for law students and lecturers there also give mock interview practice for our students applying to a university asking for interviews. Remember there is lots of support here so you must ask and let us know what you need and we are always here to support you.
