Schools and colleges

UWE Bristol organises a number of exciting activities, events and awards designed to help raise students' aspirations, attainment and awareness of higher education.

Whether your students are exploring their options for after school or college, considering university study or just want to find out more about a subject, we're here to help.

Please note: Due to the ongoing situation with coronavirus, we are not currently offering any face-to-face activities, either at our campuses or in schools and colleges.

We are however keen to continue to support you and are happy to engage digitally, either live or via our suite of online resources for students, teachers and advisers (scroll down to the 'Online resources for students' section and 'Teacher and adviser online resources' section on this page).

As soon as we can resume our normal programme of recruitment and outreach services, we will contact schools and colleges.
