During the morning session, you’ll learn directly from professionals and university students currently working or studying in the industry. Our tutors will explain university pathways, entry requirements and application strategies, helping you understand exactly what it takes to secure a place.

After a break for lunch, the afternoon focuses on structured virtual work experience. Through live interactive sessions alongside students from around the world, you’ll gain first-hand knowledge of what the career truly involves. You’ll complete practical tasks and real-world scenarios designed to develop your understanding of the profession and provide meaningful examples you can reference in applications and interviews. The day concludes with a live Q&A session, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions about the career, university study or next steps.

At the end of the programme, you’ll receive a personalised certificate of completion to support your CV or university applications.

Our aim is that by the end of the day, you’ll have a clear, realistic understanding of the career you are considering — along with the knowledge, confidence and practical experience needed to begin building a successful university application.
