Launch of the University of Brighton Compact
The Compact is a new partnership between the university, schools and colleges and students. Students studying in Sussex can benefit from the support and services we deliver through the Compact no matter which university they are thinking about attending.
This event is free and open to all staff who work within progression to higher education in Sussex-based schools and colleges: heads of sixth form, heads of careers, HE/WP progression co-ordinators, careers advisers, guidance counsellors, UCAS tutors, teachers and personal tutors.
As well as lunch and a discussion with Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Stuart Laing, the Student Recruitment and Outreach team will be explaining the services and support the Compact offers and how schools and colleges can become Compact partners. There will be optional development workshops on personal statement and reference writing.
