Q2 What type of university webinar are you requesting (Please note that some of the options are similar – please choose the one/s that best describes what you are looking for)?

  • Taster Lecture – A subject based talk to give students an insight into a subject area and the associated learning experience at university

To support our students in understanding what it would be like to study their chosen subject at university. To prepare them as much as possible so that the transition to university is much less daunting then it currently is for them.

Q4 What year group/s is this for?

  • Year 12
  • Year 13

Q5 As a rough estimate how many students would you expect to take part?

Respondent skipped this question

Q6 Please provide up to 3 alternatives for when you would ideally like this to take place allowing a minimum of 3-4 weeks lead time? (If you are requesting more than one session or are unclear/flexible about dates at this stage, please move to question 6).

There is complete flexibility as this is the first time we would be offering this and not entirely sure what this would look like. One of the subjects I would like to have a lecture for would be business management, and anthropology.

Q8 Are you happy for other schools/colleges to be invited? (This often makes it more likely that a university will pick it up and students often say that they enjoy interacting with other schools).
