SIXTH FORM
Sixth Formers at the
University of Birmingham
Open Day
ON FRIDAY 21st June, our Sixth
Formers visited the University of
Birmingham Open Day. Over the
duration of the day, students attended
a programme of different events,
including: subject seminars, student
accommodation tours, talks on ‘tips for
applicants’ and a tour of the Student
Guild. The day provided students
with an opportunity to gather lots of
information and to sample what life
would be like attending one of the
country’s most prestigious and wellestablished Universities.
Over the next few months, the
majority of our Sixth Formers will be
busy deciding and applying for their
desired University courses. Attending
the University of Birmingham Open
Day is just one small part of our
programme of support for students
in our Sixth Form looking to apply to
University. Over subsequent months,
we will guide and advise students
with all aspects of their University
10
applications. This will include advice
on courses and institutions they
should consider, support with the
completion of their UCAS applications
and guidance on how to complete their
personal statements. In addition to
this, we provide one on one support
for all of our Sixth Formers throughout
the entire application process. We
ensure that all of our students in the
Sixth Form receive all the information,
support and guidance they need to
make the right decision about life after
the Sixth Form.
The students that attended the
University of Birmingham Open Day
have been further inspired to continue
working hard in the Sixth Form, so
that they can gain the qualifications
they need to achieve a place on their
desired University course.
