A TASTE OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Edge Hill College of Higher Education opened its doors to Birkenhead 6th Form College, when over 300 students spent the day at the Ormskirk Campus.

Students learned about what to expect from the Edge Hill higher education experience, as well as finding out about how to apply for university, the courses on offer, life on campus and how to manage finances.

Wendy Bowe arranged the visit.

She said: "Everyone seemed to enjoy their time at Edge Hill. We?ve had lots of very positive feedback from students who were most impressed with our facilities and services. Many of them have been encouraged to apply to Edge Hill and we hope to see them here again as new undergraduates in the years to come."

Throughout the summer Edge Hill will be welcoming lots of school parties from the north west region to the Ormskirk Campus, some taking advantage of residential visits and the chance to try out classes in subjects such as journalism, history and sports.
