HE Talks and workshops
We can deliver talks and workshops at your school or college as a standalone activity or as part of a wider event, such as careers days or parents’ evenings. All these sessions can be tailored to specific year groups at your request. We can also offer introductory talks on subject areas, and how these link to future careers.
We are available to attend careers fairs or parents’ evenings to deliver talks and give one to one advice to students on their choice of course and progression to university. If you would like us to represent BCU at your school or college fair or deliver one of the higher education talks please contact us below.
