The change in the government’s approach to grading of A-levels has had a considerable impact on university admissions across the country, as has the lifting of the cap on student numbers. The Vice-Chancellor will send an all-staff email later this week which will give an update on the University’s response to the situation.
This includes intensive work by admissions officers in schools and centres, relaunching our Clearing campaign and a series of interviews with Simone Davies, our Director of Marketing, Outreach, Recruitment and Admissions, on regional media including ITV Meridian, Heart FM, BBC Radio Kent , KMFM and KMTV.
These interviews build on last week’s activity, which also saw Simone being interviewed about our Clearing offer on LBC, BBC Radio Kent, Heart FM, KMFM and KMTV. She also took part in a day-long BBC SE News Facebook live event.
Earlier in the week, Professor Richard Reece, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Education and Student Experience, spoke with BBC Radio Kent about how the University is preparing for the next academic year.
