Bellerbys College assists its students in every step of the university application process. One way Bellerbys helps is by holding an annual Higher Education Fair at the college, where students have the opportunity to meet representatives from many UK universities.
At the fair students may ask specific questions and obtain information about the universities, such as the range of courses offered, the University's location, where they might sit in various league tables, social and housing facilities, links to business, careers advice, research facilities available and the support they offer to international students.
The visiting University representatives are on hand to answer these questions and can offer further details, for example, about specific course content and can give insight into post-graduate study and careers advice.
The day also encourages students to start taking responsibility for their own progression in terms of which academic course or profession they are most interested in.
