Schools & Colleges Liaison

Careers & Higher Education Events

During the year staff from the Schools & Colleges Liaison teams attend Higher Education events and Careers Conventions throughout the UK and Ireland.  These include:

  • Regional Events 
  • School and College Events
Regional Events

Many of the regional/UK events are organised through UCAS and the careers network (these are often termed HEC events – indicating Higher Education Convention).

These events will provide you with the opportunity to meet with one of our advisers and pick up a prospectus. Very often these events serve as the first point of contact for those considering making the move to higher education.

If you want further information on a particular course or want to view the Campus facilities, please contact the University in order to arrange a visit – please refer to our section on Campus Events and Individual and Group Visits.

UCAS provides further information on regional UCAS events happening across the UK www.ucas.com/getting/events .
