Our pilot BTEC project, supporting students’ transition to higher education, is now well underway. This academic year, ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú University, North-Eastern University, and St Mary’s University have successfully delivered all scheduled in-college sessions. The University of East London will deliver their final session to BTEC TV and Film students this Thursday. 

The next stage of the project will be the campus visits which also begins this week and will continue through the end of May. As this is a pilot project, participating universities and colleges are coming together at key points to reflect, share insights, and collaboratively plan how best to support students as we move into the second phase in their second year.
