The Royal University Hospital, Bath, are advertising a three day event, which provides a great opportunity for anyone seeking a potential career in medicine or as a health care professional. All interested students need to apply directly to RUH Bath (see Mr Davies for details) and there is a cost of £80 for the 3 day course, which includes lunch and refreshments. The 3 day programme will deliver an excellent insight to the world of health care and provide a unique experience for those involved. It will also provide a very positive addition to UCAS Personal Statement applications and CVs.

Please can we also take this opportunity to remind all parents, carers and students of the Medical Profession Career Assembly, to be held on Monday 21st March, in the drama hall. As previously advertise on the Marlwood 6th Blog and by email, the fortnightly career assemblies focus on different job sectors and career pathways. The Medical Profession assembly will be led by Simon Atkinson, Senior Lecturer in Medicine, University of Bristol Medical School from 8.40am to 9.10am and provide details on careers within the medical profession and also qualification requirements. The signup sheets for this and every career assembly are available on the 6th Form Career noticeboard, 6th form foyer and the career notice board in the school’s main corridor.

Y12 Students' Pre-Registeration for the UCAS Exhibition Visit on the 14th March

Header

Dear student and parents / carers
 
The 2016 UCAS exhibition season is now underway, but we wanted to update you on a couple of things now that involve the UCAS Exhibition Marlwood Year 12 are all attending on 14th March.
 
Changes to registration
We want our students to get the most out of their UCAS exhibition, so everyone must individually pre-register online at least two weeks before our visit on the 14th March. Information regarding this process was sent to parents and students in January and also placed on the Marlwood 6th Form Blog.
 
Launch of the UCAS exhibitions app
Another advantage of pre-registering is that students will now, for the first time this year, also be able to download and explore the brand new UCAS exhibitions app – a tool created to enhance event experience and help make the most of the visit.
 
Using the app, students will be able to:
  • search for exhibitors at the event
  • decide which stands to visit with the interactive venue maps
  • access a digital version of their online ticket – which exhibitors can scan at the event to record their interest
  • view the event’s activity schedule – to see when talks, seminars, and workshops are taking place
  • tap into additional UCAS info – covering applications, personal statements, deadlines, and more
Users can download the app to their mobile phone or tablet, or access it via the UCAS website. They sign in with the email address used to register for the event, and by entering the password: Event1.
 
UCAS look forward to seeing us on the 14th March but if you do have any questions or would like to give them any feedback (good and bad), please contact us.
