Bring university to life
Delivered by Nottingham Trent University's Widening Access and Outreach Team, the Year 6 campus visit will give your pupils an immersive experience at a university.
It's designed to support pupils to develop their knowledge of university, student life and enable them to visualise their transition to secondary school and beyond.
Pupils will have opportunities to engage with NTU staff, students and ask questions. The experience will involve pupils exploring campus and taking part in interactive activities facilitated by Student Ambassadors.

University visits are fully-funded by NTU. We provide this service to ensure that young people from the most disadvantaged backgrounds have the ability to access attainment-raising events such as these. However, they cost NTU on average £620 per school to run. This is covered by public funding for which we are accountable for reporting on. It is vitally important that you notify us of any reduction in pupil numbers, or if your group are unable to attend the event with at least 48 hours’ notice. We reserve the right to invoice schools for a £50 penalty for any group booking which fails to attend on the day or gives less than 48 hours’ notice of cancellation.
