Description

AIM4University 2024

The University of Surrey invites you to register for Aim4University; a multi-engagement programme, providing advice, information and mentoring, designed to support you with preparing your UCAS application, personal statement and making your final decisions towards which course to study.

The programme has 4 ways to engage:

• Live webinars
• Recorded and on demand content
• 1:1 online mentoring
• Invitations to campus visits and receipt of a travel bursary

What is AIM4University?

The mentoring service matches applicants with a current University of Surrey student who can share practical advice towards structuring their application in addition to recommendations towards work experience, reading and references. Students will also get ahead in their preparation by receiving invitations to attend exclusive weekly webinars on areas such as personal statements, applying for student finance, placement training years and university life.

Furthermore, you can receive a £40 travel bursary towards your transport expenses to attend one of our Open Days on either Sunday 6 October or Saturday 2 November 2024, or an alternative campus visit on Wednesday 30 October 2024.
