Uni:4U is back!

Uni:4U is a programme of free events that take place across Greater Manchester. They give you the chance to gain a real-life experience of university life, by taking part in activities and working with current university students and learners from other schools.

Ideally, this would be booked as the first in three exam workshops for Y11, however it can also be a stand alone session. Workshop Details: Group size: one class at a time Length: 45-60 mins Delivery method: In-person is preferable, but virtual delivery can also be arranged and streamed into multiple classrooms if this is the only way it fits into the timetable. GM Higher will need to record the participation of learners in line with our funding requirements, so we will ask you to provide a register.
