UCAS DAY, an annual event organised by the Inter-University Somali Societies took place on 22nd September 2019, at the Institute of Education in central London. The event was organised to support young people understand the university application process, gain useful tips from current university students and professionals on how to write a successful personal statement. The half-day event was attended by over 200 young people, majority of whom were in years 12 and 13, the latter year group will begin their UCAS application in January next year for entry for September 2020.
This year RISE Projects was a sponsor of the event and it was a great opportunity for us to do some outreach and engagement with young people from across London. Our stall was visited by many young people who had questions about how to achieve their goals, mentoring and how to get the results they need to get into their chosen university.
Visit the official UCAS website for useful tips and advice.
