Pre-entry support

We understand the difficulty that may come with returning to education and are proud to offer workshops, short courses and specialist advice.

We understand the difficulty that may come with returning to education and are proud to offer workshops, short courses and specialist advice.

Pre-entry support

For those returning to education, short courses are available with direct entry into some degree programmes.

UEL seeks to support care experienced and estranged students into higher education and delivers opportunities through activities and events to get involved in before enrolment. You will benefit from:

  • One-to-one information, advice and guidance with a specialist careers adviser to support you with course choices, entry requirements and pre-entry support.
  • Support with the university application process, including UCAS support, personal statement and interview or portfolio preparation.
  • Access to short courses specifically designed for mature learners and those without formal qualifications to gain access to Higher Education, such as our New Beginnings programme.
  • Opportunities to go on a campus tour with a student ambassador and find out more about university life on campus.
  • Workshops to support attainment through after school clubs, taster days and summer schools hosted by our Schools and Colleges team.
