Outreach for schools and colleges | Bishop Grosseteste Unive

Here at Bishop Grosseteste University, we work closely in partnerships with schools, colleges and careers advisors in order to offer advice and support to all potential students considering Higher Education.

How We Can Support You

Our outreach team provides free information, advice and guidance sessions for schools and colleges across the UK. We offer a range of activities that can be tailored to meet the needs of your audience, and can be delivered both on campus and at your institution. Sessions are designed to raise awareness of the benefits of university and inspire your students to think about their future.

If you are interested in these working opportunities, please get in touch to arrange a meeting to discuss further.

Widening Participation

Widening Participation (WP) is a government initiative within the Higher Education sector. Universities and colleges around the UK are encouraged to offer and develop outreach work to help to raise the aspirations of groups of people, who may be less likely to go on to study at Higher Education level.

University Information for Parents

Going to university is a life changing experience, and we want to make sure parents, carers and students are supported throughout the whole process – especially during these unsettling times. We know how important you are in helping with your child's university application and guiding them with their student finance decisions. It can be really difficult choosing the right course and the right university – especially if they're the first in the family to go into higher education.

“It was interesting and helped me prepare for the course as I knew more about what would be expected of me. It also meant I got to meet other course-mates and staff so that I would have a friendly face by the time I joined.”
