A Day in the Life (A student shadowing experience)
 

Aimed at students aged 17-19, studying in their first or second year of college/sixth-form, this one day event will provide students with the opportunity to shadow an undergraduate student at a local university.  They will explore a subject they are interested in, explore the facilities, chat to current students and academics at the university and enjoy a free lunch.

This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the reality of student life, at a local university with a current student in preparation for their own higher education experience. Any travel costs associated with the visit will be pre-paid or reimbursed.

Where and When? Shadowing experiences will take place between 13th-17th March 2023 at a higher education institution in Essex. Location will be dependent on subject, pathway interest and availability. Please answer the questions below to help us create a shadowing experience that suits your intended pathway (university or apprenticeship), the subject area you're interested in studying further and the date you would like the event to take place on.
