Information, Advice and Guidance for those coming to University through alternative routes
Not everyone comes to University with A-Levels, but you still need to know the facts in order to apply. So, in this series of webinars we’re providing useful information on choosing a University, how to apply and how to make your application stand out when you have alternative qualifications or have taken a different path to Higher Education. We also hear from current students who have come to Reading without having studied A-Levels so you can find out what the transition was like for them and how their alternative experience has supported them to succeed.
You will join these webinars without video or audio, and your name will not be seen by other attendees. Any questions you submit will not be seen by other attendees.
The sessions take place live so you will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout. However, if you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, if you register for the webinar, you will receive the recording via email.
