HE Choices: Studying for BTECs and want to apply to university? With Ruth Walton From The University Of Winchester
27th September 2016 @ 14:00 - 15:00
In this session Ruth Walton will talk to students studying for BTECs and who may be considering applying to university.
More students than ever are going to university having studied BTEC subjects or a combination of BTECs and A Levels. This session will explain the points students will be awarded for their qualifications and discuss how the transferable skills acquired during their current study will help while at university.
Suitable for: Year 13 students studying BTEC subjects or a combination of BTECs and A Levels.
Preparation or Pre-Reading: We recommend that students prepare in advance some questions relevant to their potential interest in HE.
The IT Setup: The setup is similar to Skype, using a pc and webcam, although students take part as a group with the image projected on a whiteboard rather than as individuals in front of lots of pcs. Dedicated videoconferencing equipment is also compatible if available in the school. We will work with your IT department to ensure everything is set up and working prior to the event. The sessions are generally limited to 3 or 4 schools to maintain the interactive nature of the experience.
Booking a Place: If you have a group that you would like to take part in this event, please contact us via email. We will book your place subject to availability.
After the Event: If students have any questions following the video conference, please encourage them to email Winchester.
