A total of 27 Year 9 students were chosen to visit the country’s best university to find out more about what it is like to study there.

 

The students were inspired as they received a tour of some of the university’s colleges and dined in a 17th century hall. They were informed how to make successful academic choices to prepare them for higher education and beyond.
