We are encouraging Fyling Hall students to take part in the UK University & Apprenticeship Search Virtual Fair on Wednesday 14 October (12:00-18:00). The event features over 90 universities, colleges, and apprenticeship providers from around the UK along with 10 interactive webinars, and is aimed at years 11-13 and parents to provide you with all the information you and your child need to make informed decisions about their post-18 options. Students, parents and carers simply must register online.

Students and parents can chat directly with a mixture of Russell Group, red brick, and modern universities from around the UK to find out invaluable information about courses, modules, life at university, and discover what admissions tutors are looking for in UCAS applications. Attendees can also speak to colleges and local and national companies about their apprenticeship schemes, alongside being able to speak to universities about the degree apprenticeships they offer.

10 interactive webinars will run throughout the day on a variety of university and apprenticeship topics such as UCAS Personal Statements, Student Finance, and Apprenticeships. The webinars are run by university and apprenticeship professionals who will also host Q&A sessions after the presentation. All webinars are recorded so if you miss one you can stream the webinar 24/7 on the fair website until Wednesday 28th October. You can view the webinar timetable and presenters list using the link below: www.ukunisearch-east.vfairs.com/en/webinar-timetable

Register in advance to receive a free event guide which will explain how the day will work and how both yourself and your child can make the most of the exhibitor interactions. The event guide will also contain lots of articles on topics such as student finance, UCAS applications, extra funding, personal statements and apprenticeships. We recommend registering for the UK University & Apprenticeship Search Virtual Fair as soon as possible to ensure you receive your event guide and have time to prepare for the big day.
