Teachers and Advisors – we’ve got you
Building relationships with schools and colleges is integral to what we do. Our dedicated Student Futures Team are here to help guide your students into making an informed and balanced decision on their route to Higher Education. Whether it’s through our on campus visit days, ‘World of’ insight days, or a session from our custom-made outreach menu, our team will give your students a great look into what UA92 has to offer.
VISITS FROM UA92
Our outreach menu ranges from traditional HE sessions on Student Finance, personal statements and UCAS applications, to enrichment sessions designed to build confidence and grow your students’ soft skills. Our Student Futures Team can deliver sessions on your campus for up to 150 students at a time, making it a fun and interactive workshop for all.
VISITS TO UA92
On campus visits are the best way to experience what life at UA92 is like. By coming onto campus, your students will be able to fully immerse themselves in the UA92 community, hear from our Student Ambassadors on their journey to Higher Education and take part in an interactive session in one of our ‘World Of’ areas. Your students will walk away from our visits feeling inspired and motivated for their next steps.
We have a number of different offers for our on-campus visits, which are outlined below.
Insight Days
We believe that being hands on is the best way for students to learn. We offer practical and interactive insight days in all four of our World Of areas: Sports, Business, Media and Digital. This is a great chance for your students to learn from our knowledgeable academics, whilst also seeing what their potential future degree would entail.
All sessions are designed to suit students’ needs, and all sessions can be tailored depending on what you would like your students to get out of the day. For example, within your insight day, we can offer a carousel of activities (e.g. Sports Coaching and Physical Education taster), partner experience, campus tour, outreach session, or a Q&A with our student ambassadors. Tailoring your session can be a great way of opening your students up to a different topic they may not have learnt yet, helping them broaden their horizons and make an informed choice.
Inter-college Events
At UA92, we love to see young people build up their team working skills and add in an element of competition! Whether your team is trying to ethically hack into a website in our World of Digital Hackathon or present an innovative new business idea to a panel of “dragons” in the World of Business Pitch Battle, there is something for everyone at our inter-college events. These events are designed to bring colleges from the Greater Manchester area and beyond onto our campus to take part in an interactive session and compete against each other on the task set. By working collaboratively with not only each other, but also other students from different areas of Manchester, our inter-college events are the perfect way to boosts students’ confidence and build up their public speaking skills.
We also work closely with out industry partners on our inter-college events, giving students a taste early on into what businesses are looking for in their talent.
