Workshops<br />

This interactive giant floor game teaches<br />

students all about finance, social life, courses<br />

and higher education in a fun way. As well as<br />

answering questions, students will need to <strong>us</strong>e<br />

acting, spelling and team working skills for their<br />

group to be crowned the winners.<br />

With the assistance of our trained Student<br />

Ambassadors, our team can visit schools to<br />

facilitate our Pathways Day programme which<br />

aims to get pupils thinking about their future<br />

choices and higher education. Pupils will get an<br />

opportunity to learn more about university though<br />

quizzes, creative tasks, presentations and Q & A<br />

sessions with current students.<br />

We’ve adapted our successful transition skills<br />

programme to meet the needs of a younger age<br />

group. We have a number of sessions foc<strong>us</strong>ing<br />

on academic and life skills which will equip<br />

students with extra skills and understanding to<br />

aid them in their current studies and beyond.<br />

We have a large pool of enth<strong>us</strong>iastic and capable<br />

Student Ambassadors, all of whom are currently<br />

studying or have recently finished studies at<br />

<strong>Middlesex</strong> <strong>University</strong>. They are on hand to help<br />

you and your students out – contact <strong>us</strong> with a<br />
