Access Bus visit from King’s College
Mon 21 Mar 2022
A group of Year 10 students have been chosen to take part in the Access Bus visit from King's College, Cambridge University on 22nd March.
Every year, a group of King’s College undergraduate students travel to the North East to work with Year 10 school students through a series of games and activities designed to raise aspirations and provide information about University opportunities.
Every year, a group of King’s College undergraduate students travel to the North East to work with Year 10 school students through a series of games and activities designed to raise aspirations and provide information about University opportunities.
This project has run since the year 2000 and has two principal aims:
- To increase awareness amongst students in the state sector of the opportunities available to them in Higher Education
- To dispel myths associated with the University of Cambridge, helping to build relationships between the University and schools that have little or no history of sending applicants to Cambridge.
Topics covered in sessions include considering University, the variety of subjects available, student timetables, extra-curricular opportunities, finance, making friends, types of accommodation, entrance requirements, career prospects and applying to Cambridge.
