The Event

Who you'll meet

The BASc

If you're not sure which direction to take for university, you're not alone.

Most students in clearing aren't confused about subjects. They're confused about themselves, what they're good at, what excites them, and where they'll actually thrive. This event won't tell you what to do. It'll help you figure it out for yourself.

Through interactive sessions, coaching conversations and real stories from people who've been where you are,you'll leave with a clearer sense of who you are as a thinker, and what your next step looks like.

Curious about the BASc?

Our 'Arts and Sciences: Interdisciplinary Problems and Methods' BASc is the first programme of its kind in the UK. On this course, you’ll study a wide range of subjects under a curriculum that focuses not just on academic areas, but also on real-world problems. This means you will study how the approaches of these subjects can help to solve complex problems.
