Thousands flock to HE convention
2 April 2008Thousands of students from across the North West got advice on their future education prospects at CXL’s 2008 HE Convention at the end of March.
Hosted by UCLan, the two day event saw 8,000 young people visiting more than 100 information stalls from universities across the UK.
The 16 and 17 year olds also had the opportunity to attend seminars about student life, applying to university, finding out about money and choosing the right course and place to study at.
CXL Managing Director Karen O’Donoghue said: “CXL is in the business of supporting people of all ages to move forward in work and life and our annual HE Convention is a great opportunity for young people to find out first-hand about university life and the courses that are available to them”.
Phil Chapman, Head of Marketing at UCLan, said: “It was a hugely successful event for us. It was the second time we have hosted the annual convention and we are delighted thousands of prospective university students came to visit.”
