UEA Applicant Days, Spring Taster Events and Literary Event + Summer School

This month, university admissions teams around the country are busy reviewing applications following the UCAS deadline - UEA is no exception! We really recommend encouraging your students with offers to attend applicant days, as this will help them make confident firm and insurance choices. If applicant days are a grey area for you, check out our article on UniBox to hear what they are all about and why it's a good idea to attend with first-hand advice from our Higher Education Adviser, Roshan.
