Students from Belfast thinking of applying to university or college should visit The King’s Hall Pavilions’ upcoming UCAS convention to find out more about higher education and the process of applying.
The event on 5 and 6 March 2014 is a great opportunity for Year 13 students to research more about their future and the options available.
Local schools will be taking their students to the event open between 10:00 and 15:00 on Wednesday 5 March and between 09:30 and 13:30 on Thursday 6 March. But anyone not registered via their school, can do so themselves at www.ucas.com/conventions.
As well as universities, colleges, gap year providers and many other organisations, UCAS will be offering advice on the application process.
Steve Jeffree, UCAS Chief Operating Officer said: “UCAS conventions are an ideal place for students to get a feel for what university life is about. In fact you can ask the experts about all the options out there for you after finishing school.
“I hope as many young people as possible take this opportunity to come to The King’s Hall Pavilions and see what their future could look like.”
Students can find more about getting the most out of visiting a convention by logging on to www.ucas.com/prep. UCAS organises over 50 conventions around the UK each year, and they are free to attend.
