Upper Sixth
Our Upper Sixth students are midway through the higher education admissions cycle and have begun to receive an impressive range of offers from UK, US and international universities.
Lower Sixth
Students this term are enjoying the Higher Education programme which has included presentations on university admissions from Sara Pittman of Exeter University, Laura Hayes from UCL and Natasha Man (OS 2024) who is studying at UCL, in addition to a talk on Graduate Employment from James Darley at Transform Society.
They have also attended optional sessions on the ‘Beginners’ Guide to Degrees in’ series by Sevenoaks Heads of Department and Higher Education Advisers. Throughout this month further talks will be given by our staff, by representatives from Study Options and the University of Queensland, an OS who is an alumnus of Yale and Oxford and currently attending Harvard Law, and our staff.
We look forward to talks from admissions representatives from UEA, Lancaster and Warwick after Easter, and to hosting more HE department events. Click below for more information and to book.
