Teacher and Advisor Conferences

Swansea University invites you to attend our events specifically designed for Heads of sixth form, Careers staff, School/College UCAS Correspondents and all staff with input into Higher Education programmes. 

Whether you're an experienced UCAS Advisor or just starting out we're sure you'll find our events informative and practical.  Both conferences will include an update session on student finance giving delegates the opportunity to share their experience of the impact of the new UK Tuition Fee regimes.            

We're pleased to be able to offer both events free of charge and lunch and refreshments will be provided; however, places are limited so booking is strongly advised.
