Through a series of online sessions and a campus-visit, participants will take part in taster lectures and seminars which will reflect the diverse curriculum offered at the University. They’ll also meet current students and academics and find out all about life studying English at Leeds, explore the career opportunities available to graduates and be supported until the point of submitting their UCAS application in Year 13.
