Honours Programme Trips

Honours Programme Trips

As part of the Honours Programme Elliott organises visits to a number of universities to help Y12 with their choices and preparation for application via UCAS.

The trips our students have been on this year are to the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Durham University and Newcastle University.

These trips give our students a chance to get a first hand experience of these universities.

Whilst on these trips the students meet university staff and students and also get a feel for the cities they are in. After all if they are going to study there for at least 3 years they need to know as much as you can.

Visit to Durham & Newcastle

Durham first with amazing weather.

Newcastle next with football as well as the university.

Visit to Oxford University

Oxford, as you can see the buildings look amazing in the sunshine but the grass wants a bit more rain.

Visit to Cambridge University

In Cambridge the students needed to have a go in the usual transport systems.
