Are you a care experienced young person in year 10 or above?
If so, we are running an event which we have designed specifically for you! UCL: Building Futures will give you lots of information about what it is like to be a young person with care experience at university. We will talk to you about how to choose where to study, how to choose a course and what support UCL can offer you in terms of funding, accommodation and well-being services. You will hear from speakers and students with care experience who have progressed to higher education. The event will take place between 11am-2pm on Wednesday 2 June 2021.
UCL: Building Futures will be held on Zoom and is free to attend.
To be eligible, you must:
- Currently be in care, or have previously experienced time in care;
- Be in year 10-13 in England and Wales, S3-S6 in Scotland, Y11-14 in Northern Ireland, OR be under 25 years old and have completed, or are currently/planning on completing, a qualification which would enable you to apply to UCL.
Please also note our general eligibility criteria.
