Find out more about us and Higher Education by taking part in a Discover US day. Alternatively, you can book one of a series of tailor-made talks and workshops for groups of up to 60. You can get in touch with us via our personal consultation form.

Discover US

You can choose from a range of interactive and engaging activities that have been designed to introduce pupils to higher education and encourage them to think about their future careers.

We tailor our events to meet your requirements. Discover US days can take place on campus or at your institution, at a time and date that suits you. We're happy to cater to small or large groups, and can run single or multiple sessions. We will discuss your aims and expectations beforehand in order to create an event that is perfect for you!

Activities can include:

Our activities are suitable for students aged 16+.

Talks and workshops

We know that time is valuable for students in Years 12 and 13, so we have developed a series of talks and workshops to fill slots of 30 – 60 minutes.

You can decide whether these sessions are delivered on or off-campus, to a form or year group, and as part of a full programme or a one-off session. We can be flexible in order to meet your needs.
