For parents and carers supporting a young person with applying to university, our session with UEA on 19th June at 6pm offers an invaluable introduction to university, helping parents and carers to better understand the process and be able to help their young person to make a successful application. The session will build on the work that schools and colleges are doing with their families whilst giving the university perspective.
