UCAS and university applications webinar
Wednesday 11 June at 6pm
This comprehensive webinar will cover the full university application process, starting with the basics of UCAS and moving through choosing courses, writing statements, accepting offers, taking gap years and more, plus time for Q&A. It will also introduce alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships, ahead of the more focused apprenticeship webinar in July (details to come). The webinar will be recorded and slides will be available for those who can’t join us live.
