Find what’s right for your child
The OfS Uni Connect programme is a series of free activities and events connecting schools with universities and colleges. Run by local hubs, the programme helps young people get a taste of university and college life and learning.
The hubs can help you and your child understand what higher education has to offer. Activities range from campus visits and subject taster sessions to talks with current students.
They also offer lots of practical, impartial advice, from how to apply to university and college, tuition fees and career options.
To find out more speak to your child’s teacher or careers adviser.
“It has really helped me because in the area I live in not many people do go to university.”
