Inspiration workshops for Year 9
Ambassadors from Bath Spa University ambassadors held a series of workshops with groups of Year 9 students in the LRC this week. The aim of the event was to raise students' awareness about attending university and to inspire them to aim higher by considering higher education as an option.
Myths about university were discussed through interactive games and students even had the chance to interview Bath Spa ambassadors, asking questions about university life.
With over 150 universities and 37,000 different courses, university is accessible to everyone. Students can find out more about Bath Spa University on their website: www.bathspa.ac.uk and more general information about higher education on the UCAS website: www.ucas.com
