AIM4University
Aim high and stand out in your university application.
AIM4University is a six-week Surrey Scholars programme designed to provide advice, information and mentoring (AIM) to support post-16 students with their UCAS application, personal statement and much more.
Starting on Monday 23 September 2024, the programme is flexible and tailored to fit student requirements with 4 ways to engage:
- Live webinars
- On demand recorded content
- 1:1 online mentoring
- Invitations to campus visits and receipt of a travel bursary
The mentoring service matches applicants with a current University of Surrey student who can share practical advice towards structuring their application in addition to recommendations towards work experience, reading and references. Students will also get ahead in their preparation by receiving invitations to attend exclusive weekly webinars on areas such as personal statements, applying for student finance and university life.
Furthermore, participants on the programme will be invited to attend one of our Open Days on either Sunday 6 October or Saturday 2 November 2024 or an alternative campus visit on Wednesday 30 October 2024.
