Talks, visits and workshops

School and College talks

The talks we deliver in schools vary depending on what a school requests and what stage students are at in the university application process. Where requested we can combine talk topics and change the length of the talk to meet your needs.

The talks can be tailored to students in different year groups and studying different qualifications including GCSEs, A-Levels, International Baccalaureate, BTECs, Access Courses or international qualifications and can last between 20 minutes and an hour.

We welcome requests for academic workshops and will accommodate these to the best of our ability. We also recommend exploring our annual events, which include subject-specific activities and taster days. 

We’re pleased to offer a sample of some of our talk topics and recorded sessions, as follows: 

Campus visits

We can offer tailored programmes at our Colchester Campus for both pre-16 school groups, and post-16 sixth form and college students. For those who cannot visit us, we are pleased to offer a virtual campus experience, using innovative online software.

Our aim is to give your students a first-hand experience of what it’s like to be an undergraduate student.

Throughout the day, students can expect to hear from staff and student ambassadors, take part in interactive sessions and learn more about life on a university campus. Campus visits are the perfect way to engage and inspire students, to expose the opportunities available to them and support informed decisions regarding their future.
