A HUGE thanks to Eleanor of Anglia Ruskin University for visiting and working hard to keep the students of Long Road Sixth Form  informed about HE matters today.  We are really grateful for her hard work, and feedback from students was excellent.

HE visitors to college next week, 2nd October, 2013

Please note that there are two visitors coming the college next Wednesday.  Anglia Ruskin University are bringing their double decker tour bus and will be located between G and D  blocks all morning.  Advisers and recent graduates will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about going to university, from how to find accommodation, to when is the best time to apply, through to What is it really like at university, and how to make the best of a personal statement, etc.  Meanwhile, in the Student Centre on the same day, Student Finance England will be on hand to answer any questions you might have regarding financial matters.  This is a great opportunity to ask all the little questions, and sometimes the big ones too (!), that might mean the difference between a future university education, or not.  Do take the time to go and speak to them.

Financial Support for University

Just a quick email to make sure that any students who have applied to study with Anglia Ruskin University in 2012 are aware that they can apply for their scholarships and fee waivers. We know that any student has concerns about juggling their finances, so please do apply.

The Anglia Ruskin National Scholarship Programme is worth a total of £6,800 in the form of fee waivers over 3 years and it’s available to eligible students with a household income below £25,000.

The Anglia Ruskin Fee Waiver Scheme is worth up to £1500 per year of study and could reduce the cost of annual tuition fees for students with household incomes of below £35,000

As you can see it really is worth students looking into this further by going to the ARU website www.anglia.ac.uk/nsp and making an application.

Anglia Ruskin University Open Day

An Undergraduate Open Day is taking place this Saturday (8^th October 2011) from 10am-3pm at Cambridge & Chelmsford. If any students are interested in attending they can book a place in advance via www.anglia.ac.uk/opendays.   Alternatively they can just turn up and we will register them on arrival. 

2011 University intake likely to be more competitive than ever - do you have a back-up plan?

For those students considering applying to university entry in 2011, please take a look at the BBC article on the attached link (click here).

NOW, more than ever before, you should be thinking about back-up plans for your time after Long Road Sixth Form.  The number of students failing to get a place at university in 2010 increased from a quarter to nearly a third, and many of those will be applying for 2011 entry.  Not only does this increase the competition facing applicants, but this competition is likely to be boosted to even tighter margins next year as more students try to gain a place ahead of Government plans to allow the rise of student fees in 2012.

In short, those who are most likely to succeed in the future are those students who either gain a place at university, or who have thought through and arranged good, solid back-up plans.

If you need help considering alternatives, you can come and arrange an interview with a Connexions Personal Adviser in the Careers Department.

Remember, "Nobody plans to fail, but many fail to plan."

DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE LEFT IN THE COLD.

Anglia Ruskin University Open Days for Years 12 and 13

Please note that the Careers Department has just received information regarding Anglia Ruskin University HE Information Days and Taster Days. This is one of the most popular University choices for Long Road Sixth Form students so we thought we’d highlight it for you. These special days are available for years 12 and 13 and give insight into University life and courses.

HE Information Days are ideal for Year 12 students who are thinking about their future. A mixture of talks and activities are provided which will both inform you about HE opportunities, whilst inspiring you to think constructively about how to achieve your goals. Typically, these run from 10am – 3pm and lunch is provided.

Subject Specific Taster Days are a great way for level 3 students to find out more about how a specific subject is taught at University level. The External Liaison Team is happy to discuss your requirements in detail and can develop Subject Specific Tater activities which support your syllabus.

To find out more, email external-liaison@anglia.ac.uk or call 0845 196 4725. So far, taster days are available in Health and Social Care, Education, Science and Technology, Arts. Law and Social Sciences, and Business.
