Students take the next step towards university

The Upper School has recently welcomed many university representatives, from as far afield as Sciences Po (Paris Institute of Political Studies), New York University (NYU), UC Berkeley, ESSEC Business School, University College Utrecht, IE University (Spain) and HEC Paris. One of the highlights included a taster session for Year 12 students on the topic of “Logic and Reasoning: A Philosophy Taster” delivered by Professor Paseau, Professor of Mathematical Philosophy at Oxford University.

These presentations gave students first-hand insight into higher education – the opportunity to explore potential degree subjects and to learn more about university life whilst preparing for their next steps and pathways beyond Jeannine Manuel School. 

Students have also embarked on a UK University Tour organised by Dr Hinchey, Director of Higher Education, where they gained invaluable insight into student life, the application process and learnt more about the courses of interest to them. Students returned from their trip, more informed and ready for the university process.
