Sussex Liaison and Progression Accord
In the interest of our students, the College has joined the Sussex Liaison Progression Accord. This is an agreement with the three local universities, (Brighton, Sussex and Chichester) to guarantee an interview or offer on many of their courses. Please ask at Student Services for more information. Students will need to indicate that they are entering on an SLPA basis on their UCAS form.
Aimhigher - now called "Aiming Higher"
The Aimhigher programme was a national initiative that provided information and support to students thinking about going to university and primarily worked with students that were the first in their family to consider progressing to higher education.
Although the Aimhigher programme came to an end in July 2011, we are still continuing progression activities to this group of students under the title Aiming Higher.
The Progression Adviser can be contacted via Student Services or through your Personal Tutor.
