Higher Education Information Day In Inverness

12th September 2013

Highland pupils find out all they need to know about life after school.

Young people in the Highlands who want to find out about life at university can come along to Skills Development Scotland�s (SDS) Higher Education Convention in Inverness.
The Convention, at Smithton Church, Murray Road, Inverness on Thursday 26 September, brings together college and university representatives from all over Scotland. It offers students an opportunity to compare and contrast courses in one place at one time. There will also be representation from all of the armed services and four key industry sectors - IT, Oil and Gas, Land Based and Life Sciences at the event.

More than 25 organisations will be there to offer information and advice to students and their parents. Adults and college students who want to learn more about further education are also welcome to attend, as are parents who want to support their son or daughters transition to Higher Education.

The free event, which is organised in association with UCAS, will have details on courses, accommodation and funding. SDS careers advisers will be there to give impartial, one-to-one advice.
