Life Beyond Queen Ethelburga’s College
At Queen Ethelburga’s College, preparation for your future starts from the moment you arrive, thanks to our comprehensive QE Futures Programme.
|
From Year 12 onwards, you will be encouraged to actively prepare for university applications while also building a strong CV to support applications for apprenticeships, internships, or work placements. Our dedicated Form Teachers, Heads of Department, the Careers Team, and the Academic Director are all available to offer expert guidance at every stage. Whether your goal is university, vocational training, or entering the workforce, we provide tailored support for every route. |
Specialist University Preparation Support
For students aspiring to study at Oxbridge or pursue competitive courses such as Veterinary Science, Medicine, or Law, our Early Applicants Programme offers dedicated support. This includes access to subject-specific consultants who guide you through the application process.
In Year 13, all students receive one-to-one coaching from a specialist supervisor, who will help you navigate your chosen path, whether that’s applying to university, apprenticeships, or employment. This includes mock interviews, application reviews, and personal statement guidance.
Medicine Preparation
Students aiming to study Medicine benefit from weekly specialist sessions covering everything from university teaching styles and acquiring work experience, to preparing for entrance exams such as the BMAT and UCAT (formerly UKCAT). This in-depth support ensures every applicant is well-prepared for the unique demands of a medical school application.
