It will provide you with:

• An understanding of university life and an opportunity to hear directly from current university students about their experiences
• First-hand experience of a leading university and advice from world-class academics who are passionate about the subjects they teach
• An exciting insight into the type of research carried out by universities and the impact it can have on our everyday lives
• The chance to make new friends
• The opportunity to explore a subject of your choice through fully funded residential events and regular trips to one of our campuses
• Development of experience and knowledge to help you decide if university is right for you, and, if so, boost your university application
• Development of key skills to help with both your current studies and the transition to university-level study in the future
• A pathway to studying at the University of Exeter and access to the Exeter Scholars benefits packages

The programme offers opportunities for both South West-based and national students, has activity pathways starting in Year 10, and supports participants through to the end of Year 13.
