These events work for students at any stage of decision-making – from Year 11s starting to think about sixth form choices to Year 13s finalising university applications.
UCAS Discovery events
Heading to a UCAS event? Find out what it's really like and how to make the most of it.
"At UCAS Discovery, I spoke to almost every person about different course options available in the subjects I liked, and asked loads of questions. There was one student that spoke who said, ‘If you study something that you love, you don’t feel like you’re studying it’, which was so inspirational I decided to study geography at Swansea University."
"There were so many universities to speak to and activities to get involved in. I got valuable insights into student life and course structures from the universities I’m applying to. It was a really valuable experience."
