Top Tips from universities in Higher Education Week

5 February 2016

As part of our expert support at the Sixth Form College, universities from around the country come to visit us in our Higher Education Week and offer students an introduction to university life.

More Sixth Form College students went on to university than any other Wirral sixth form last year, and our specialist Personal & Guidance tutors, who lead HE Week, are here to prepare everyone for their own journeys.

From dealing with finance to choosing the right course, the universities all gave an insight into what the future can hold for those wanting to further their studies after completing their A Levels.

Here are some of their top tips!
