Why Should I Attend? 

Whether you're guiding students through their UCAS choices, leading a sixth form, or shaping your school's HE strategy, this conference is built with you in mind. 

Here's what you can expect: 

Stay ahead of the HE landscape: Hear sector insights directly from UCAS, from application trends to changes that could shape the advice you give your students.

Connect courses to careers: Join a dedicated session with Unifrog, exploring how to help students link their career ambitions to the right university programmes.

Step inside programmes at Northumbria: Choose from a range of interactive taster sessions aligned to our programmes, including Health, Business, Law and Space. See what studying at Northumbria really looks like to support conversations with your students.

Make connections that matter: Network with fellow careers leads, heads of sixth form and senior leaders from across the region, alongside Northumbria staff who are here to support you and your students.
