Campus Visit

We can arrange for a group of students to visit one of the University of Cumbria campuses (Carlisle - Fusehill Street, Brampton Rd, Paternoster Row, Newton Rigg, Lancaster & Ambleside) to experience a university campus first hand. Current University of Cumbria students often accompany your students and get involved in different activities throughout the day.

Pre & Post Campus Visits
|
Linking in with the above campus visits, we can also visit schools / colleges prior to a campus visit taking place. This often helps students to prepare for their visit and understand why they are visiting a university campus. After students have visited one of our campuses, we can also follow up with a post visit to their school / college to reinforce what they have learned or deliver a relevant follow up session.

Parents Evenings
|
We feel that it is important to be able to advise parents / guardians on the options that are available to their child / dependant in further and higher education and we also recognise that parents would like to hear about matters such as finance and applying to go into higher education. We can attend parents evenings to deliver talks in these areas and be on hand to offer general advice and information.
