GM Higher Coronavirus Update

The current coronavirus pandemic has resulted in unprecedented changes to the education sector. GM Higher’s main purpose is supporting learners, teachers, schools, and colleges in finding out more information about higher education, and to help young people with their decision-making.

In response to the current situation, we have further developed our online offer –

Online resources – we have a new resources page, which covers a range of topics from budgeting and wellbeing to apprenticeships and preparing for HE, we hope you find these useful: gmhigher.ac.uk/resources

Online delivery – we have adapted some of our existing in-school activities to be delivered via GoToWebinar (or school platforms), you can book these: gmhigher.ac.uk/events-and-activities

Ask us – our Ask Us platform is now live – chat to us about higher education, university and student life: gmhigher.ac.uk/askus
