Workshops

We offer a variety of workshops:

Why go to university?

This session is an introduction to university. We will discuss the benefits of going to university and look at how certain careers require specific degrees. Learners will come away with an understanding of how going to university can benefit their careers, as well as their personal lives.

Choose your courseIn this session, we support students in finding the right course for them. The workshop looks at entry requirements, accreditation, work experience, career prospects and how to make the most of Open Days – so learners can feel confident that they have made the right decision when they apply to university!
Pathway to your careerIn this session, we will discuss Higher Education pathways and the doors that are opened by studying a particular subject. This session is perfect for classes of Level 3 students: whether that is a group taking Business, Health & Social Care, Law, or any other subject, we can take them through the opportunities that their subject presents them with and get them excited about their next steps.
Student Life at LSBUA chance for your learners to hear from our Student Ambassadors and find out what it's really like to study at university, from the academic life to the social scene. Students will have the opportunity to ask any burning questions they may have and hear more about the real-life experiences of LSBU students.

Student finance and budgeting at university

A workshop designed to help prospective university students understand how Student Finance works and the importance of managing your money and budgeting at university, including how to create a basic budget and how to make money go further. We will share tips on how to save money, as well as advice on how to supplement their budget as a student, and address myths and misconceptions about Student Finance.

Acting your Personal Statement

A workshop for learners currently writing their UCAS Personal Statements, to help them create a Personal Statement they can be proud of! We will look at key content to include and will identify what admissions tutors are looking for, using examples so that learners can understand how a Personal Statement comes together.

Study Advice and developing soft skills

This workshop is designed to build learners’ soft skills, such as problem-solving, communication skills, and leadership. The session aims to boost students' confidence in the short term and set them up with skills to aid their transition to Further and Higher Education.

Undergraduate Degree vs Degree ApprenticeshipsThis session aims to support your learners to make informed choices about their Higher Education journey, through demystifying, informing and providing advice on undergraduate degree and degree apprenticeships options.
