Working with\u00a0a number of\u00a0the UK\u2019s top Universities,\u00a0<\/span>such as University of Nottingham, Southampton and Portsmouth,\u00a0<\/span>students have been<\/span>\u00a0given access to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>valuable<\/span>\u00a0information<\/span>\u00a0on all aspects of higher education<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0From advice on the application process, to writing a personal statement, and applying for student finance,\u00a0<\/span>resources are available to help students every step of the way.<\/span>\u00a0The pages will stay <\/span>online,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>live\u00a0<\/span>talks\u00a0<\/span>have been<\/span>\u00a0recorded so that students can access the information at any stage of their\u00a0<\/span>j<\/span>ourney to higher education.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The online event has been created by the Andover College Careers Team in lieu of a traditional progression event taking place this year. Carol Allen, Head of Careers, explains:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>We were a bit nervous about the online format, but the day couldn\u2019t have gone more smoothly. We had fantastic support from universities and the Southern Universities Network (SUN) with making our first ever Uni Bound, Higher Education day a success.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Ten universities pitched in to host live webinars and pre-recorded sessions \u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>all designed to help our students throughout the entire higher education application process. Students could log on from wherever they were, and they did! We were very pleased with the amount of student participation throughout the day.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside Uni Bound,\u00a0<\/span>the Careers Team have been\u00a0<\/span>taking the time to prepare\u00a0<\/span>all<\/span>\u00a0our staff for 2020 UCAS through staff training, including reference writing<\/span>, in order to support students throughout their education<\/span>. The Careers Team are also\u00a0<\/span>continuing to hold<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>one-to-one<\/span>\u00a0sessions for students seeking advice<\/span>\u00a0during the\u00a0<\/span>time that students have been learning from home<\/span>; t<\/span>hese sessions have been running online and over the phone<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
