The University aims to collect data on all the participants that partake in any Widening Participation activity. To do this, we aim to collect the following information about the students taking part in the Discover programme:
- First name?
- Surname?
- School?
- Date of birth?
- Home postcode?
- Eligibility criteria of the students taking part
We will work with you to pick days which suit your school for both the in-school session and campus visit(s). We offer these sessions all year round.
By participating in the Discover Programme, students will:
- Learn more about higher education and progression routes after school
- Explore subjects and careers beyond the school curriculum
- Develop confidence in discussing their future aspirations
- Recognise their skills, strengths, and interests
- Gain a first-hand experience of university life
Yes. The Discover Programme supports several Gatsby Benchmarks for good careers guidance, helping students connect their learning to future pathways and understand how subjects can lead to different careers.
We can make a contribution of £700 towards the cost of transport. All students and teaching staff must provide their own lunch.
The in-school session(s) are the length of your lessons, typically between 45-60 minutes.
On-campus visits are typically four hours long, including a break for lunch, with your school group arriving at 10am and departing at 2pm. If you would need to start or end at a different time, we are able to adjust the timings for the day on request.
