Aiming for university? The free online event is for you.
Not everyone reaches university the same way. You may have studied for your GCSEs and A levels from home, balanced learning alongside family or work commitments, or returned to education after a break.
Webinar with the University of East Anglia (UEA)
Co-hosted with Gemma Standen from the University of East Anglia (UEA) this free to attend webinar on Thursday 3rd September has been designed to help you recognise the strengths of your non-traditional educational pathway, understand the higher education admissions process, and present your application with confidence.
If you will soon be embarking on, or are currently studying, A levels, you may already be thinking about university options and how to best present your qualifications and experience.
You may be wondering how universities view qualifications obtained through non-traditional pathways – such as distance learning.
The good news is that the independence, self-motivation and resilience you develop as an online learner are qualities that universities highly value and can significantly strengthen your application.
Join us on Thursday 3rd September 2026 from 1.00-2.00pm to:
- discover how universities assess applications and the qualities, skills and experiences they value
- learn how to make the strongest possible UCAS application – whatever route you have taken
- find out how to turn life experience, career history, and independent study into a personal statement that stands out
- explore the guidance, support and resources available to help you at every stage of your application and beyond.
There also will be time for any questions.
