Chance for students to meet Oxbridge reps at Stourbridge fair
Students will get the chance to meet representatives from universities including Oxford and Cambridge at a fair in Stourbridge.
Margot James MP is hosting her fourth Universities Outreach Event at the Glasshouse College in Stourbridge.
It is being held on Friday April 29 and the 'university fair'-style event is part of the MP's 'Raising Aspirations' programme, which gives local young people the chance to participate in a series of workshops, seminars and networking fairs – all designed to inspire them to fulfil their potential.
The event will take place from 5pm to 7pm and will be a chance for students to network with a number of leading universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, Birmingham, Lancaster and Southampton.
Past events have seen a large turnout, with both students and parents giving positive feedback on both the diversity of institutions attending and the information on offer.
Speaking about the event, Margot said:"I started the programme back in 2012 to raise the aspirations of local young people.
"Whether going to university, becoming an apprentice or training for a job, I want everyone in Stourbridge thinking about their future career to fulfil their potential. I am very much looking forward to meeting local students and parents at this event, which I hope will be incredibly helpful for them."
