Ian McAlister, who runs the Progression Directorate at Collyer’s said: “This was a hugely worthwhile conference.

“We were captivated by lectures on the psychology of colour, encouraged to explore the words of William Blake in interactive English lectures and intrigued by the complexities of molecular chemistry!”

This popular trip is part of a busy progression programme at Collyer’s, actively helping students to take the next steps after college.

At the end of April Collyer’s is running two Higher Education Evenings and other activities include sessions on completing UCAS applications, writing personal statements, interview practice and subject masterclasses.

There are also further Oxbridge events planned for next term.
