In 2007-2008 we had 70 students who discussed applying and 40 actually did so (12 of them were successful). As well as meeting with Oxbridge staff, all students get individual help with all aspects of their application, from filling in the UCAS forms, applying to the individual College, preparing for the tests or writing the essays to practice interviews. We are always ready to talk to the students and give them the best advice we can.”Havant Colleges’ Open Evening is taking place on Thursday 6th March 6.30 – 9pm, where both parents and students can find out more information on all the courses, explore the campus and meet our teaching staff.
