The process of applying to Universities can be daunting; firstly, which one to choose and secondly, how to get there.

Our “Insiders’ stories” event was designed to help students planning further studies. The event took place on Saturday, 9th February at our high school.

We shared Akademeia’s experience in supporting pupils with their applications to US and UK universities. Our diverse panel of current students and recent alumni shared their experiences of studying and applying to a wide of range of courses and institutions.
