I am emailing to invite your students to the official Meet the Russell Group webinars (see the email below which you can pass to students). I also want to let you know there's still time to book places at our upcoming Manchester Old Trafford (MUFC) UK University & Apprenticeship Search event. This takes place on Friday 28th of March.

1. UK University & Apprenticeship Search Event - Old Trafford (MUFC) March 28th

Meet an array of exhibitors including Russell Group, red brick and modern universities, as well as apprenticeships representing top UK companies and local providers. Vital seminars will take place at these fairs including UCAS personal statements, degree apprenticeships and student finance. Exhibitors include BT, KPMG, National Apprenticeships and universities including LSE, Kings, UCL, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester Met, Nottingham, Edinburgh and Lancaster, to name but a few. See full details here.

2. Meet the Russell Group Webinars - 29th April, 30th April & 1st May
This is incredibly informative for students considering applying for Russell Group universities such as Cambridge, LSE, Bristol, Glasgow or Cardiff. The webinars will cover topics such as Personal Statements & Applying, Researching University Options and Student life.

Students, teachers and parents can sign up for each webinar via the registration link: www.ukuniversitysearch.com/fair-signup/russell-group-webinars.
Please use the email below (or here) to let interested students know about the webinars. I have also attached a social media icon and school letter for your use.

3. Autumn UK University & Apprenticeship Search Events

Lastly, we have now released dates for our Autumn 2025 North West events. Please email me if you'd like to provisionally reserve places at:

- Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester - 26th September
- Anfield Stadium, Liverpool - 15th October 

We are pleased to confirm the date of our Arts and Media Spring Taster Day 2025 at the heart of our popular Media City campus. An invite and live booking form will follow in the coming weeks.   

We would be thrilled to welcome a group of your students to visit and experience up to two hands-on taster sessions on the day at our Media City campus. 

Date: Wednesday 26 March 2025

Whilst the team are working on finer details around precise timings for the day, it will take place during the core hours of 10.00 and 16:00.

Our academic tutors and advisers are keen to bring students to the University of Salford and support their initial university research. The focus of the taster session is encouragement and skill building - we understand students will benefit from sampling from a range of creative specialisms in this early phase of their applicant journey.   

Please note, sessions are aimed at first-year students only. Due to limited capacity, we will have a cap on numbers. Students may favour certain courses, and we will do our best to accommodate preferences, but we cannot guarantee the subjects they will experience on the day.

We will be in touch with a link to the booking form shortly. If you have any questions, please get in touch with project leads Alexa and Ben at workwithus@salford.ac.uk
