What is Future You?
Future You is a great opportunity to discover what Higher Education could offer you in the future. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t thought about college or university – everyone is welcome! Our FREE programme of activities includes social events, campus visits and subject taster sessions at East Anglia universities and Further Education colleges. Future You is supported by current university students who will help you out and answer questions about what university is really like. The activities give you the opportunity to explore different subjects and information and advice on progression pathways and student finance.
To take part in Future You you must be in Year 9 to Year 11 and be under local authority care or a care experienced person or have a social worker, or be an unaccompanied asylum seeker in Year 9 -Year 13 (or equivalent.)
Sessions will run throughout the academic year, either in the school day, after school or at weekends and during the school holidays. Once you have signed up to the programme, we will keep in touch to let you know when new events are happening. The activities and sessions are all completely FREE! We will also cover the cost of transport to attend an event. As well as being great fun, we hope that you will get to make some new friends and learn a few things along the way. You'll find out what it's like to be a student at university or college, and it will help you decide what you want to do in the future.
