University and careers; destinations & retention

All students, whatever their ambitions, take part in a programme of activities designed to help them plan for their futures.

In year 12, students are introduced to the UCAS process. They research university courses and institutions and learn how to write an effective personal statement.

Students who apply to Oxford or Cambridge, or who apply to do medicine, dentistry or veterinary science receive a range of additional support, including support with BMAT and UCAT, practice interviews and specialist advice.

Students who plan to go into employment, or to undertake an apprenticeship, will explore and research employment and apprenticeship opportunities and learn how to write an effective CV and application letter. We have good links with local employers who often seek out Hartismere graduates.
