The UNet Partnership

UNet is a partnership of six leading

universities Bath, Cardiff, Oxford, Reading,

Southampton and Imperial College London.

We all offer extra support to sixth form

and college students from families without

a background of university study who are

applying to leading universities.

Choices Conference

UNet partners organise an annual Choices

Conference for students planning to make an

application to a leading university in the region.

Students have the opportunity to: attend a

Higher Education Fair; participate in workshops

to help them choose the right course; take part

in UCAS personal statement sessions; find out

about student budgeting; and explore career

opportunities with graduates.

This year as part of the Conference we are

giving teachers the opportunity to come

together as part of the programme of the day.

Teachers will have the opportunity to find out:

l how to support their students in choosing

the right course and university

l how to assist students in making competitive

applications to leading universities

l about the range of additional programmes

offered by universities to support students
