The UK Student Recruitment Team is here to provide clear, accurate information, advice and guidance for anyone considering higher education. 

We recognise the important role teachers and advisers play in supporting learners as they explore their options and plan their next steps. That’s why we work with schools and colleges to offer a range of activities, both on and off campus, helping learners explore higher education, discover what university life is like and make informed decisions about their future.

A campus visit gives your students the opportunity to explore UGM, find out more about higher education and learn more about subjects they’re interested in.

We can work with you to plan a programme for your students, including subject sessions, campus tours and opportunities to speak to our staff and students.

Our team can tailor the visit to suit your school or college and the areas you’d like your students to explore.

Our team can visit your school or college to help students explore higher education and find out more about university life.

We offer a range of talks and sessions covering topics such as choosing a course, applying to university, student life and finance. Sessions can also help students understand what to expect when they start university and give them the opportunity to ask questions about their options.

Higher education fairs and exhibitions give students the opportunity to explore different universities and courses in one place.

Come and speak to our team at one of the events below to find out more about studying at UGM, ask questions and explore your options for higher education.
