Our Access and Outreach Coordinator works with schools and students from our link regions of Merseyside, the Isle of Man, and London Boroughs Enfield and Waltham Forest to ensure students know more about our university, why it could be for them, and how to get here.
We offer a variety of different programmes and events, ranging from school visits, online and in-person workshops, to subject residentials.
If you are a teacher from our link regions and would like to find out more, please email our Access and Outreach Coordinator, Josephine Glover, and she will add you to our outreach mailing list where opportunities and resources are circulated on a regular basis during term time.
