Year 13: Visiting Speaker from the University of Lancaster

And as we prepare for our latest lecture, Year 13 are planning their all-important next steps towards interviews to secure places at their universities of choice, and yesterday we were delighted to welcome visiting speaker Kirk Wandsworth (Recruitment & Admissions) from Lancaster University, who delivered an invaluable presentation to the students on University Interview Skills.

There was insightful advice on:

Securing an Interview

Types of Interview and the assessment criteria

Questions to prepare for & strategies for optimising answers

STAR technique: situation, task, action, result

Top tips for Interview Day

Year 13 also took advantage of the opportunity to ask further questions as they develop their research and preparations for interview.

With huge thanks to Kirk for visiting UGS to inspire and advise Year 13, and to Head of Year Mr Neale and the SFT for organising this opportunity for the year group.
