Reading Scholars Programme

Reading University

The Reading Scholars programme aims to give Year 12 students a real taste of life as a university undergraduate, and to provide practical support as participants begin their higher education application process. Featuring input from leading academics, current undergraduate e-mentors and university alumni, the programme furthermore aims to challenge participants academically and enhance their current studies.
The programme takes place at the University of Reading’s Whiteknights campus, and students will  participate in four events throughout the academic year 2016 – 17. These will include master classes led by academics in their subject of choice, a Student Experience Day in February, a study skills session and finally a three day summer school in June/July. Events typically run from 9.30 – 15.30 and all transportation costs are covered in advance for participating students.
Students participating in the programme will have achieved at least five A* – C at GCSE and be on course to achieve good grades at A-Level or equivalent (i.e. BBB). Additionally, we will give priority to those students who have no parental experience of Higher Education and live in an identified postcode area.
Students who successfully take part in the Scholars programme who go on to apply for an undergraduate course at Reading are guaranteed to receive either an invite to interview or a conditional offer. Applicants who go on to select the University of Reading as their firm choice institution are also eligible to apply for a £1000 Scholars bursary in their first year.
The programme is offered in the following subject areas this year:
  • Art & Design
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • English Literature
  • Modern Languages (French, German and Spanish)
  • Mathematics
 
Further information about the Reading Scholars programme can be found in our Reading Scholars Brochure: Reading Scholars Brochure 2016/17
To apply for a place on the Reading Scholars programme, please complete the Application Form (which can be downloaded via the link below) and return it to us by the deadline of Friday 4th November. We will accept printed and scanned copies.

Tall Ships Adventures! – Get on Board

logo-box

 

 


What’s it all about?

  • Meet new people
  • Explore new places
  • Develop your skills on voyage

Whether you’re in education, NEET or need some time off work, all of our voyages are about having fun, new adventures and taking on a challenge. Not only will you learn to sail, you will broaden your horizons.

Some of our voyages can be mentally and physically challenging, but you will come away with a renewed energy and enthusiasm as well as an experience you will never forget.

What to expect

With 60 years of experience, we are experts at teaching people about life on board on ocean-going vessel. We presume you know very little about sailing and will teach you all you need to know.

Tall Ships Spirit

A Tall Ships Adventure is a unique hands-on experience. you will become an important part of  the vessel’s crew and this involves more than just the sailing – it will include maintenance, cleaning and food preparation.

We encourage everyone to participate as much as possible but won’t make you do anything that you don’t want to. However, everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and take turns in ‘Happy Hour’ which is cleaning your ship or yacht.

You’ll work as a team while on board and will always be supported by our professional crew and trained volunteers.

What support will I get?

Our expert crew will teach you all you need to know and are always there to help when you need it.

On most Youth Voyages there will also be a Youth Mentor on board who is a qualified teacher or youth worker. They are there to help and support Voyage Crew with any personal issues they may have whilst on board.

Get out on the water and have a great time!

No sailing experience is needed!
