Students earn points
STAFF at University Centre Peterborough have recently launched a new programme to raise the aspirations of students into higher education and give them with extra skills they will need once there.
The Passport to Uni programme, which is aimed at 19 year olds and under who are considering going to university, is run throughout the year.
In addition, attending these sessions along with other activities will earn students up to 40 UCAS points towards a place at University Centre Peterborough.
Each study skills course is run for seven consecutive weeks taking place on a Monday from 4.30pm to 6pm at University Centre Peterborough and once completed 15 points will be allocated. The next available session will be running from April 16 to May 28.
Other points can be awarded for completion of other courses that students might complete whilst at school or college such as The Duke of Edinburgh Award, Community Sports Leaders Award, ASDAN Peer Mentoring Award, Young Enterprise Company Programme or Attendance at an HE Summer School.
The scheme will also allow students to become familiar with the HE environment, understand course content and build confidence in their learning styles. Not only this but the students will also have the opportunity to start to build relationships with academic and support staff.
