After a successful launch event for the SUCCEED Programme during half term, we are still accepting applications from students who wish to join the programme on our next date (Saturday 25th November).<\/p>\n
This is a new, year-long programme, run by the University, is designed to help young people in Kent and Medway explore the opportunities and challenges offered by higher education in a safe inclusive environment with the support of friendly and knowledgeable university staff and student ambassadors.\u00a0 The SUCCEED programme combines information, first-hand experience and exploration to provide students with a broad view of university so that they can decide whether it is the right path for them.\u00a0 Students will also be encouraged to develop skills and a confident approach which will be useful whether they decide to undertake further study or enter employment.<\/p>\n
The programme is made up of 4 Saturday workshops, plus a three day residential course in July. The dates are: 25 November 2017, 13 January 2018, 17 February 2018, 31 March 2018\u00a0and the residential taking place on 25 to 27 July 2018. The times are 10:00-15:00.<\/p>\n
