On Monday 10th June, all of Year 12 attended the UCAS Discovery Fair held at the Norfolk Showground. UCAS Discovery Fairs take place around the country and allow students the opportunity to:
- chat to unis and colleges about their courses and uni life
- speak to employers and apprenticeship providers about what an apprenticeship is like and the options available
- listen to talks from experts in their fields
- get dedicated support from our UCAS experts about your options

Here are what some of the year group thought about their experience:
“The UCAS Fair was a brilliant event with a wide range of universities from all across the country ready to take questions and offer advice. Some I hadn’t even heard of seem to be a good fit for me, and I’ve already arranged to travel to some of their Open Days. It was interesting to learn more about the range of post-18 opportunities on offer.”
“It was very informative and was a good experience to start thinking about life after sixth form.”
“I really enjoyed the UCAS Fair. It was really informative and game me a chance to explore universities I had never thought about. From the UCAS Fair I found two universities I am now going to Open Days for and am very excited to explore the course and the city.”
“There were lots of people to speak to who were very helpful.”
“I found out about Open Days to go to.”
“Good information about different courses.”
“I found different unis I hadn’t thought about before.”
“Lots of leaflets – can do research on your own.”
“Lots of free stuff!”
